Meta Taps MongoDB CEO Desai to Drive Enterprise AI Push (reuters.com) 13
Meta has hired MongoDB CEO Chirantan "CJ" Desai to lead a new enterprise AI business aimed at turning Meta's models, agents and tools into products companies can deploy themselves. Reuters reports: Desai, a veteran technology executive, took over the role from Dev Ittycheria. MongoDB has appointed Ittycheria as interim CEO as it searches for a permanent replacement. "While the departure is disappointing, we believe MongoDB remains well-positioned strategically and view the share-price reaction as overdone," brokerage Piper Sandler said in a note.
[...] Desai will directly report to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in the newly created role of chief enterprise platform officer and will focus on turning the company's AI stack into products and services that companies can deploy for their own businesses. Before joining MongoDB, Desai led product and engineering at Cloudflare and spent nearly eight years at ServiceNow, including as president and chief operating officer.

Very clever move from Mark Zuckerberg because mongoDB is web scale thus perfect for the meta-verse.

5k is a heck of a lot of headcount for what Mongo seems to have in terms of scope of product offerings and support services.

Does this mean the all the annoying MongoDB banner ads will go away from Slashdot? I think Meta is the prefect match for MongoDB, Meta is already a cesspool of intrusive ads.

No, now we'll get annoying Meta banner ads.
