25-Year Veteran from Salesforce, Microsoft, and SAP to Accelerate Enterprise AI Transformation Across APJ

A technology executive with over 25 years of experience at global IT companies including Salesforce and Microsoft will now oversee MongoDB's Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ) operations. As enterprise AI adoption expands beyond pilot stages into actual production environments, MongoDB is reinforcing its strategy in the region.

MongoDB announced on the 4th that it has appointed Richard Scott as Senior Vice President, APJ.

SVP Scott previously served as Senior Vice President overseeing APJ at Salesforce and held senior leadership positions at Informatica, Microsoft, SAP, and IBM.

SVP Scott will focus on driving enterprise AI technology adoption across the Asia-Pacific region.

MongoDB integrates real-time data, vector search, hybrid search, and embedding and reranking capabilities from Voyage AI into a single platform to enable customers to transition AI applications to production, the company said.

Ryan Mac Ban, Chief Revenue Officer at MongoDB, stated, "From Sydney to Seoul to Mumbai, APJ customers are looking to MongoDB for support to move beyond AI experimentation and into actual production operations," adding, "We expect his experience building enterprise businesses in APJ and customer-centric approach to accelerate this transition."

MongoDB currently has over 1,200 employees and thousands of customers across the Asia-Pacific region.

The company opened a new office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in late May and plans to open an office in Tokyo, Japan in September.

Engineering teams in India and Australia are also continuing to expand.

Additionally, MongoDB for Academia announced in June that it will provide data and AI capability training to 2 million developers in India by 2030.

Key APJ customers include LG U+, Samsung, Cathay Pacific, Woolworths, Canva, and Grab.

SVP Scott stated, "Solving the data layer will be the most critical technology challenge for enterprises in the AI era," adding, "I will focus on rallying partners, communities, and regional teams to enable customers to rapidly modernize and deploy AI applications."
