Meta launches enterprise AI platform, hires MongoDB CEO
Meta announced Monday the launch of its new Meta Enterprise Platform initiative for business customers and has hired the former CEO of MongoDB to lead the effort.
Menlo Park, Calif. – September 28, 2026 – Meta Platforms announced Monday the launch of "Meta Enterprise Platform," a new initiative aimed at expanding the company's artificial intelligence offerings to businesses and corporate clients. The social media giant has hired Chirantan “CJ” Desai, the former CEO of database software company MongoDB, to lead this new endeavor.
The launch of the new business unit builds on the momentum of Muse, Meta's personal AI assistant released earlier this month, which can perform tasks for users such as sending emails and booking travel. Meta plans to bring its full technology stack, including Muse, Meta Business Agent, Muse API, and Muse Code, to businesses and developers.
"Over the coming years, AI will fundamentally redefine how organizations of all sizes innovate, grow, serve customers, and run business operations," Desai stated in a press release. "Meta has a unique role to play because it is bringing together advanced models and leading agents with a proven track record of helping millions of advertisers and hundreds of millions of businesses scale. Meta Enterprise Platform will focus on turning its AI stack into products and services that companies can deploy for their own businesses."
This strategic move could help Meta monetize its significant investments in artificial intelligence. The news of Desai's departure also led to a more than 17% drop in MongoDB's stock price. MongoDB has appointed Dev Ittycheria as interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent replacement.
