New Relic CEO Lew Cirne asked himself a question upon embarking on developing a new startup inside the company he co-founded. He wondered: How would Jack Dorsey do it?” Dorsey started Twitter and then Square. He is now Twitters chairman and runs Square, too. He innovates arguably more than any CEO in the startup world. And he had a system Cirne could use. Today, Dorsey’s system serves as a foundation for Cirne to take one-week blocks in secluded retreats just to code. His goal for New Relic: go beyond just being a one-trick company. Build a company that lasts well beyond the lifetime of its core service: application lifecycle management. How Cirne Follows Dorseys Ways He is good at managing his time while building big companies, Cirne said about Dorsey in an interview at the Glue conference last week. The interview followed a keynote on how Cirne has found new ways to be a developer while also serving as CEO.

The company was growing fast but Cirne had no time to code. He realized he had to build out the team earlier than he thought. There was no way I could jump into coding and succeed on an operating level, Cirne said. He filled out the team, with Cook being the most important hire, joining New Relic in 2011. Cook had worked for Cirne at Wily Technology before the ALM company that Cirne co-founded sold to CA in 2006. At CA, Cook ran a 1,000-person organization within the company. Now with the space and time left open by operations out of his hands, Cirne can code during the week and take breaks to get away to do
