Search every verified Rick Mcconnell interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Rick McConnell, CEO of Dynatrace, discussed the company's fiscal 2026 results and strategic milestones during the May 2026 earnings call. He stated that Dynatrace surpassed $2 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and delivered a fourth consecutive quarter of 16% ARR growth, describing it as a "year of milestones" and "firsts." McConnell noted that logs revenue exceeded $100 million and grew 100%, and that consumption-based pricing now accounts for over 75% of ARR. He said the company is moving from a "fix, stabilize, accelerate" phase into an acceleration period, with guidance implying nearly double the net new ARR growth from fiscal 2026 levels. In a March 2026 interview, McConnell highlighted Dynatrace crossing $1 billion in lifetime AWS marketplace sales, with 75% of that total occurring in the prior two years. He described the company's new "Dynatrace Intelligence" offering as combining deterministic AI with agentic AI to create "self-healing systems" that can autonomously prevent, remediate, and optimize incidents. McConnell added that the company advanced cloud-native integrations across AWS, Azure, and GCP, shifting operations from reactive monitoring to autonomous action. He stated that the winner in observability will be the provider that serves both human-led and agent-led environments with a shared system of truth.
