MongoDB Appoints Ryan Mac Ban as Chief Revenue Officer to Support Next Phase of Growth
NEW YORK, March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MongoDB (NASDAQ:MDB) today announced the appointment of Ryan Mac Ban as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), effective April 27, 2026. Reporting to President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) CJ Desai, Mac Ban will lead MongoDB's global sales team. Following the recent appointment of Erica Volini as Chief Customer Officer, Mac Ban's arrival further strengthens MongoDB's go-to-market leadership team as the company enters its next phase of growth.
"This is an important moment for MongoDB. Ryan brings deep experience leading global organizations through major cloud and consumption transitions, along with a strong track record of engaging enterprise customers on strategic technology platform decisions. He will help us strengthen execution, deepen our enterprise focus, and scale for the opportunity ahead," said Desai.
As organizations modernize their application architectures and put AI applications into production, they need a data platform that can support modern requirements at scale. In this role, Mac Ban will lead MongoDB's global sales organization as the company supports customers with increasingly complex, multi-cloud, enterprise-wide core data and AI workloads.
Mac Ban joins MongoDB with more than 20 years of experience building and scaling global organizations. Most recently, as Chief Revenue Officer at Confluent, he led successful go-to-market execution in a cloud-native, consumption-oriented platform business, where growth is driven by customer adoption and expansion over time. He has also held senior leadership roles at UiPath, VMware, and Cisco.
"MongoDB has a significant market opportunity and clear role to play as customers modernize for the AI era," said Mac Ban. "I'm energized to soon work with MongoDB's world-class go-to-market team, which delivered exceptional results in FY2026. I look forward to adding to that momentum as I partner with Chief Customer Officer Erica Volini and other members of sales leadership to build on the company's success in this next phase of growth."
Ryan's appointment comes after a comprehensive search process conducted with the support of a leading executive search firm and numerous conversations with many highly qualified candidates. Outgoing CRO Paul Capombassis will support a seamless transition to Mac Ban through Q2.
