MongoDB said it has thousands of customers and more than 1,200 employees in APJ and continues to make major investments in the region.
In May, it opened a new office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and it plans to open another in Tokyo, Japan, in September. It also said it plans to expand its investment in Japan over the coming months.
It is also continuing to expand large engineering teams in India and Australia, and in June it announced MongoDB for Academia, with plans to train 2 million developers in India in core data and AI skills by 2030.
Scott, as senior vice president, will focus on accelerating the company's growth across Asia-Pacific and helping enterprises accelerate adoption of AI technologies. He is a senior technology executive with more than 25 years of experience and has supported a range of corporate transformations.
Before joining MongoDB, Scott worked at Salesforce, where he most recently served as senior vice president for Asia-Pacific and Japan. That background was cited as supporting his role, which will focus on company growth and broader AI adoption in Asia-Pacific.
Ryan McBan, MongoDB's chief revenue officer (CRO), said the timing of Scott's arrival is important. He said customers in APJ, including those in Sydney, Seoul and Mumbai, need MongoDB's support to move beyond the experimentation stage and operate in production environments. He added that Scott's 25 years of experience building enterprise businesses in APJ, along with his strategic vision and customer-centric mindset, are expected to provide the experience and credibility needed to accelerate that transition.
Scott, senior vice president, said the key technical challenge for companies in the AI era is solving the data layer. He said MongoDB has earned developer trust and recognition from market-leading companies, but that changes in how technology is built and used are only at the beginning stage. Accordingly, he said he will focus on rallying partners, communities and regional teams to help customers modernize and deploy AI applications faster, and to help them modernize and deploy AI applications with confidence.
