New Relic announced the promotion of Bill Staples to CEO effective July 1, 2021.

"When we recruited Bill into the company, we thought that he would be the natural successor to me as CEO at the right time," said Lew Cirne, founder & CEO at New Relic.

"Bill's transformational impact on New Relic has positioned the company for long-term success," said Hope Cochran, New Relic Board Chair.

"I am incredibly humbled and grateful for the confidence of the New Relic Board and leadership team in trusting me with the opportunity to lead New Relic into the future," said Bill Staples, CEO-elect at New Relic.

Cirne and Staples collaborated to bring New Relic One to life as the world's first programmable observability platform and the foundation for the creation of the observability category that New Relic leads today.

"I have a deep love for and belief in New Relic, and that's why it was so important to find the right successor. Most important was a core values match, and Bill has demonstrated time and again through his leadership and actions that he is a values-driven leader. In short order, Bill conceived, articulated and drove the cross-functional execution of a transformational strategy that will deliver remarkable impact and growth at New Relic for years to come."
