Song Sleuth, the technology company focused on solving the music industry’s royalties issues from user-generated content (UGC), announces the appointment of Ryan McCarry as Non-Executive Advisor following his investment in the business. With a track record of building and scaling businesses across Tech and other industry sectors, McCarry’s expertise will be instrumental in driving Song Sleuth’s next phase of growth.
McCarry brings a wealth of experience in business development, startup growth, funding, acquisition strategies and leading shareholder exits, with a career that spans investment Venture Capital, Private Equity, Internet Services and SaaS. As an Investor in the business and Non-Executive Advisor, he will work closely with Song Sleuth’s Board and Leadership Team to help shape the company’s strategy, guide its commercial and technical direction and ensure that quality is embedded into the organization at every level.
Founded in 2021, Song Sleuth is a technology platform that is able to ‘find the unfindable’ – namely UGC that is currently slipping through the net of existing detection systems on digital platforms and is therefore not being monetised. Clients include Warner Chappell, Audiam, Regalias Digitales, Position Music & ICE Services.
McCarry’s contributions will focus on commercial growth, including sales, marketing, and funding strategies. His technical expertise will provide valuable insights into software development, operational efficiencies, and new market opportunities. A trusted advisor in both enterprise and tech sectors, McCarry’s appointment aligns with Song Sleuth’s mission to expand its influence in the music technology industry.
Ryan McCarry said, “It is great to be working with Jordan again and a huge privilege to be a part of the next stage of Song Sleuth’s development and growth. This is an opportunity to work with an incredible team and I’m excited about the journey ahead. Our innovative and ‘true AI’ UGC platform has huge potential in the Music and Sports sectors and we aim to be the market-leader with the strongest tech offering available to our growing list of clients.”
Jordan Gross, Song Sleuth CEO said, “Ryan and I first worked together in telecoms many moons ago, so it’s an absolute delight to have him come on-board. He brings a wealth of infrastructure and growth expertise that will be invaluable to Song Sleuth as it accelerates its growth over the next few years.”
McCarry, based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire and Gross previously collaborated during their time at Demon Internet, now part of Vodafone, where they cut their teeth for future endeavors as tech entrepreneurs.
