New Relic announced that Yvonne Wassenaar has been promoted to become the company’s first Chief Information Officer (CIO).
In this new role, Wassenaar will be responsible for optimizing and scaling New Relic's internal technology platform and processes to support business growth.
"Under Yvonne’s leadership, New Relic is working to build a unified technology and data strategy designed to help scale our business faster,” said Lew Cirne, CEO and founder. “We believe her expertise will also prove an invaluable resource to our customers, helping them adopt best practices for deploying software analytics to manage their businesses.”
“At New Relic, we are data nerds at heart. We believe that there is huge opportunity for all companies to increase innovation and competitive advantage by combining technology and data,” said Wassenaar. “In this new role, my objective is to exemplify what it means to be a data-driven business.”
From its founding, New Relic has embraced a cloud-first technology strategy. The company has championed the software as a service (SaaS) model, both in how it delivers its products to customers, and in how it delivers internal software apps to its global team of employees. With the promotion of Wassenaar, the company aims for her to now focus on optimizing and scaling New Relic’s internal technology platform, and further integrating the company’s own technology into the solutions along the way. In addition, the company expects she’ll work closely with customers to share best practices for implementing a data-driven culture.
Wassenaar is a veteran in the technology industry. She spent 18 years at Accenture, where she started her professional career as a computer programmer, and was ultimately promoted to Partner. She continued her technology focus for four years at VMware where she was a key driver behind VMware’s internal cloud and public cloud business.
