NEW YORK — August 17, 2020 — MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDB), the leading, modern general purpose database platform, today announced the appointment of Rishi Dave as Chief Marketing Officer. Dave will oversee the marketing organization including marketing operations, corporate communications, demand generation & field marketing, growth marketing and content marketing and will join MongoDB’s executive leadership team.
A veteran technology marketing executive with more than two decades of experience, Dave joins from Vonage, where he led the company’s global marketing strategy. Previously, Dave was Chief Marketing Officer at Dun & Bradstreet, a cloud data and analytics provider, where he was responsible for modernizing the 176-year-old brand and driving its go-to-market strategy.
