Summary

MongoDB was recognized as the Global Software Partner of the Year at the AWS Partner Summit in Singapore due to its successful deployment of workloads on its modern database, Atlas, running on AWS, and its strategic alignment with AWS Marketplace. Devika Saharya, Director of Business Systems at MongoDB, manages teams focused on ERP and Robotic Process Automation, streamlining processes and enhancing productivity, while fostering a collaborative work environment based on transformational and servant leadership principles. As part of MongoDB's commitment to diversity, the company has launched a new employee resource group, MongoDB_API, for Asian and Pacific Islander employees, which aligns with their broader efforts to support community and mentorship. Additionally, MongoDB's CEO Dev Ittycheria announced his retirement effective November 2025, with Chirantan "CJ" Desai set to succeed him, bringing extensive growth-at-scale experience from previous roles at ServiceNow and Cloudflare. This leadership transition is positioned as a strategic move to guide MongoDB through its next phase of growth, capitalizing on the opportunities presented by AI and data-intensive applications, while Ittycheria plans to remain involved with the company as a board member.
