Born in Morocco, he moved to France to study engineering before transitioning to business development. Idriss's career at MongoDB began in 2019, where he quickly immersed himself in database technology despite initially lacking expertise in the area. His dedication to learning and creative problem-solving led to rapid advancement in the company, with significant roles in both France and the Middle East. MongoDB's supportive culture played a crucial role in his development, allowing him the freedom to innovate and pursue internal transfers with managerial backing.
