Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, one of Australia's largest banks, has been leveraging MongoDB Atlas for a multi-year digital transformation to enhance efficiency and customer experience, winning the 2023 MongoDB APAC Innovation Award for its Ready-Set-MongoDB framework. The bank's developer-first culture focuses on reducing complexity and fostering innovation, anticipating future challenges such as regulatory compliance and technological advancements with MongoDB's support. Concurrently, MongoDB CEO Dev Ittycheria announced his retirement, effective November 2025, with Chirantan “CJ” Desai set to succeed him. CJ's extensive experience in scaling technology companies is expected to guide MongoDB through its next growth phase, capitalizing on opportunities in AI and data-intensive applications. Ittycheria, who will remain on the Board, emphasized that this leadership transition is a strategic move to strengthen MongoDB's position as a leader in modern application development.
