Meta has recruited MongoDB CEO Desai to head its push into enterprise AI products. The move signals Meta's intent to expand beyond consumer-facing AI into business-focused offerings.
Meta is creating a new enterprise business to sell its AI products and services to other companies, Mark Zuckerberg announced on Facebook. He named Chirantan "CJ" Desai, formerly of MongoDB, as Chief Enterprise Platform Officer to lead the unit, which will initially offer tools like Muse agent, Meta Business Agent, Muse API and Muse Code to businesses and developers.
Meta announced a new business unit called Meta Enterprise Platform on Monday, aimed at selling its AI tools to corporate customers. The company hired MongoDB CEO Chirantan 'CJ' Desai to lead the effort, which will package Meta's AI stack—including its Muse assistant, Muse API, Muse Code, and Business Agent—into products for businesses. MongoDB shares fell more than 17% after Desai's departure was announced, and the company named former CEO Dev Ittycheria as interim chief while it searches for a permanent replacement.
CJ Desai is leaving MongoDB, where he had served as CEO for less than a year, to become Meta's chief enterprise platform officer, reporting directly to Mark Zuckerberg. He will head Meta's newly announced Enterprise Platform, which aims to bring tools like Muse agent and Meta Business Agent to businesses and developers. MongoDB's board has installed former CEO Dev Ittycheria as interim president and CEO following the announcement.
