As the CEO of Couchbase, the company welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, including different countries, religions, political beliefs, sexual orientations, physical abilities, and lifestyles. This diversity is seen as a strength for the company, and the CEO is committed to upholding values of inclusivity and respect for all employees. The company's stance on this matter is not taken lightly, but rather it is a reflection of their core values, which are shaped by the importance of immigration to the country and the high technology industry they operate in.
