New Relic Leadership & Management

New Relic Employee Perspectives

New Relic’s technology leadership focuses on anticipating where the industry is headed and preparing the company for its next stage of growth. Drawing on decades of observability experience, leaders evaluate emerging technologies, evolving customer needs and operational challenges to determine which problems New Relic should solve next.

“The question isn’t really where are we as much as where are we going. That’s my job.”

New Relic’s engineering leaders work together to turn the company’s AI vision into practical platform capabilities for customers. By aligning technical execution with product strategy, the leadership team aims to help organizations move beyond reactive problem-solving and focus on innovation at scale.

“I am thrilled to be part of Ashan [Willy] and Brian [Emerson]’s world-class engineering leadership team, together delivering the AI-strengthened platform capabilities that will help our customers move from reactive firefighting to true innovation at scale.”
