Chief financial officer (CFO) at Raspberry Pi, Richard Boult, has announced his intention to step down from the role in the second half of 2026.

Boult has served at the computing firm for seven years, and will leave the firm to explore new challenges and enable the company to put in place a team for its next period of growth.

Raspberry Pi stated that a formal search process has been initiated and Boult will assist in the process to ensure an orderly succession.

Chief executive officer at Raspberry Pi, Eben Upton, said: "Since he joined us in 2019, Richard has been instrumental in building out a mature finance function at Raspberry Pi and has made an invaluable contribution to the growth and development of the company during a period of significant change in our industry.

"His deep insights and experience were key to our successful IPO in June 2024. It has been a privilege to work with him as we have told the Raspberry Pi story to a broader investment audience in the run-up to the IPO, and in the year and a half since.

"I look forward to working with Richard through the transition process, as we position Raspberry Pi for the next phase of its growth journey."

Boult concluded: "It has been an amazing experience, and I am proud to have been part of everything that Raspberry Pi has achieved since I joined in 2019. It has been a great privilege to work with such a talented group of people in the company and the board. I look forward to supporting Raspberry Pi over the next year and to enabling a smooth transition to a new CFO."
