Meta has appointed Chirantan Desai, the CEO of MongoDB, to spearhead the company's new enterprise AI business. This initiative aims to transform Meta's models, agents, and tools into products that businesses can deploy for their own needs. Desai will report directly to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, occupying the newly created position of chief enterprise platform officer. He will focus on developing Meta's AI stack into products and services that can be used by other companies.
Desai previously led product and engineering at Cloudflare and spent eight years at ServiceNow, serving as both president and chief operating officer. The hiring of Desai comes after MongoDB CEO Dev Ittycheria stepped down to search for a permanent replacement. Despite the departure, analysts believe MongoDB remains strategically well-positioned and view the share-price reaction as overblown, according to brokerage Piper Sandler.
