MongoDB POLITICAL

Target: MongoDB, Inc.

Research date: 23 October 2026

Evidence cutoff: 23 October 2026

Scope: Corporate communications, territorial operations, employee governance, state partnerships, political financing, corporate structure, and executive activities concerning Israel and Palestine.

Corporate Communications & Public Stance

Official statements regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict

No public evidence identified of a verified official MongoDB corporate statement specifically addressing the Israel-Palestine conflict, Palestinian civilian casualties, Israeli military operations in Gaza, or Israeli settlement policy in the company’s examined public announcements and corporate disclosures through 23 October 2026.^{1, 2}

Comparative communications: Ukraine and Russia

On 15 March 2022, MongoDB published an official statement responding to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, describing the situation as a war and humanitarian crisis and announcing assistance for affected civilians.³

MongoDB stated that it would stop selling cloud services to customers in Russia and Belarus and would stop selling additional MongoDB software to customers in those countries.³

The same announcement documented direct employee donations to humanitarian organisations, free MongoDB Atlas credits for Unterkunft Ukraine, and a programme offering free Atlas credits to organisations developing software to assist people affected by the crisis.³

The company identified 31 May 2022 as the application deadline for the humanitarian cloud-credit programme and subsequently marked applications closed.³

No comparably specific public statement or cloud-credit programme concerning Palestinian civilians was identified in the examined MongoDB corporate publications through October 2026.^{1, 3}

Market framing: Israel

[pre-2020] On 3 February 2014, MongoDB announced the establishment of an Israeli office and appointment of local managers Koby Lif and Sharon Elkayam, describing its presence through market development and adoption of database technology.⁴

[pre-2020] The 2014 announcement identified Israel’s developer community and prospective local distribution arrangements as reasons for expanding the company’s commercial operations; continuing Israeli commercial presence was subsequently confirmed, although the current roles of the named 2014 managers were not independently established.^{4, 5}

On 14 June 2023, in an article updated on 18 March 2025, MongoDB described its Tel Aviv operation using the expression “start-up nation” and reported more than 50 local employees.⁵

The article stated that MongoDB opened a new Tel Aviv office at WeWork Midtown in December 2022 and described the office as supporting employee collaboration and customer engagement.⁵

On 29 February 2024, MongoDB announced the expansion of MongoDB Atlas availability into Israeli cloud regions, presenting the expansion in terms of data residency, performance, availability, and customer demand.⁶

The company’s fiscal 2026 Form 10-K describes a global developer data platform and international software business, with 46% of fiscal 2026 revenue generated from outside the United States.⁷

Current public positioning

MongoDB’s 28 September 2026 leadership announcement describes the company’s products in terms of operational data, search, analytics, and artificial intelligence, without identifying a geopolitical mission.¹

MongoDB’s primary corporate documentation gives 2019 as the establishment year of its Tel Aviv office in a 21 July 2022 interview with Israeli Regional Vice President Gabriella Cohen. This differs from the company’s 3 February 2014 press release, which explicitly announced the opening of a local Israeli office and appointed Koby Lif and Sharon Elkayam to local management roles. A separate corporate article dated 14 June 2023, updated 18 March 2025, identifies December 2022 as the opening of new premises at WeWork Midtown, Tel Aviv. The documents therefore establish three distinct milestones: an announced Israeli office in February 2014, a reported Tel Aviv office establishment in 2019, and new Tel Aviv premises in December 2022. MongoDB does not explain whether the 2019 establishment represented a relocation, reorganisation, or replacement of the 2014 office. This supplements and qualifies the existing “Market framing: Israel” statement about the 2014 establishment without contradicting its documented announcement, and confirms the existing statement concerning the December 2022 opening. The earliest documented office announcement remains 3 February 2014; 2019 is the company’s separately reported establishment year for its Tel Aviv office.^{8, 4, 5}

For excluded frame v_pol:596a2d437b59, MongoDB, Inc. is the documented corporate actor and publisher of Israel-focused promotional communications. Its 21 July 2022 corporate interview with Israeli Regional Vice President Gabriella Cohen presents Israel as a globally significant technology and innovation hub, citing its startup concentration, venture-capital investment, technologically sophisticated workforce, and opportunities for international growth. Cohen explicitly describes Israel as a strategic commercial market whose technological development can inform MongoDB’s wider product strategy. The communication channel is MongoDB’s official corporate culture blog, which publishes employee and executive interviews under the company’s branding. This establishes affirmative corporate promotion of the Israeli technology ecosystem alongside MongoDB’s commercial interests, without demonstrating an Israeli government-directed publicity programme.⁸

MongoDB’s 14 June 2023 corporate article, updated 18 March 2025, provides a second documented instance of favourable Israeli market positioning. It explicitly adopts the “start-up nation” framing, presents Tel Aviv as an attractive workplace, describes Israel’s innovative technology sector, and publishes favourable testimonials from Israeli employees. Enterprise Account Executive Nitzan Aloni describes Israel’s innovation economy and MongoDB’s role in modernising Israeli businesses, while other employees highlight professional opportunities, local technical expertise, and the Tel Aviv office environment. The article combines employer branding, employee recruitment, customer promotion, and favourable representation of Israel’s technology economy. Its March 2025 update and continued public availability when examined on 23 October 2026 establish maintained corporate publicity extending beyond an isolated historical announcement. They do not independently establish how extensively the article circulated or whether its positive portrayal changed audience attitudes.⁵

The documented communications form a recurring pattern across MongoDB’s February 2014 announcement promoting its involvement in the Israeli developer community, its July 2022 executive interview, and its June 2023 employee-focused article updated in March 2025. MongoDB’s 2014 announcement also expressly described sponsorship of and participation in Israeli developer community events. These records support a finding of repeated corporate promotion of Israeli technology-sector participation and reputation through official press releases, executive interviews, and recruitment-oriented publications. They establish commercially oriented reputational normalisation in the limited sense that Israeli business activity is presented as attractive, innovative, and routine within MongoDB’s global operations. They do not establish an independently measured public-opinion effect, a coordinated state-sponsored normalisation campaign, an endorsement of Israeli military policy, or sponsorship of settlement-related public diplomacy.^{8, 5, 9}

January 2026–23 October 2026 - no public evidence identified: a newly dated MongoDB corporate article within this period renewing the specific “start-up nation” promotional narrative, or evidence establishing the withdrawal of the 2023–2025 publication. Searches of MongoDB’s official Israel-focused corporate communications established that the previously published promotional material remained publicly accessible when examined, but continued hosting alone does not establish a fresh editorial endorsement or new promotional campaign during 2026.^{8, 5}

Operations in Occupied or Contested Territories

Documented Israeli commercial presence

[pre-2020] MongoDB announced an Israeli office on 3 February 2014; subsequent company publications confirm that its presence continued through at least March 2025.^{4, 5}

MongoDB’s 2023 corporate article identifies Tel Aviv as an employee office location and reports more than 50 employees at the time of publication.⁵

The company’s current Atlas technical documentation lists the AWS Tel Aviv cloud region, identified as il-central-1, among supported deployment locations.¹⁰

MongoDB’s Atlas release notes record support for the AWS Israel region and Microsoft’s Israel Central region in the release dated 14 February 2024.¹¹

These publications establish commercial operations and product availability within Israel but do not identify MongoDB-owned facilities or customer workloads within Israeli settlements.^{5, 10}

Israeli distribution: Matrix

[pre-2020] On 11 February 2014, MongoDB announced that Matrix’s software-products division would distribute MongoDB solutions across Israel.¹²

MongoDB’s announcement described Matrix as an established Israeli IT services organisation serving commercial, governmental, and defense-sector customers.¹²

The publication establishes a commercial distribution agreement but does not identify a specific MongoDB product delivered to the Israel Defense Forces or Israel Ministry of Defense.¹²

The 2014 distribution announcement is historical; later government procurement evidence identifies Matrix in a 2025 MongoDB-related supply arrangement, although uninterrupted contractual continuity has not been independently confirmed.^{12, 13}

Bank of Israel procurement

On 2 February 2025, the Bank of Israel published procurement notice 07-25 identifying Matrix IT Software Products Ltd as the intended sole supplier for MongoDB software procurement, maintenance, installation, training, and specialist services.¹³

The notice identifies an estimated financial value of approximately USD 275,000 excluding VAT and a procurement period extending to 29 February 2028.¹³

The notice documents a proposed commercial procurement involving MongoDB products and a named Israeli public institution; final contract execution and payments were not independently established from the notice.¹³

Israeli Ministry of Health procurement

On 5 December 2024, the Israeli government procurement portal published notice 4000595556 concerning MongoDB database licensing, maintenance, and support for 2025, with a stated amount of USD 62,100.¹⁴

The notice identifies MongoDB as the supplier and specifies a proposed contractual period from 1 January to 31 December 2025.¹⁴

On 30 September 2025, the procurement portal published notice 4000607639 concerning MongoDB database licensing, maintenance, and support for 2026, again identifying an amount of USD 62,100.¹⁵

The 2026 notice identifies MONGODB LTD as the proposed supplier and gives a contractual period from 1 January to 31 December 2026.¹⁵

Both notices concern publicly advertised procurement arrangements; the stated amounts and supplier names do not independently establish final expenditure or the location of software workloads.^{14, 15}

Israeli implementation partner: Cambium

MongoDB’s published Cambium case study describes an Israel-based software development company serving commercial customers and Israeli government clients.¹⁶

The case study identifies MongoDB Atlas as a database platform used by Cambium across a range of software projects.¹⁶

It also refers to Cambium’s involvement in an Israeli government project associated with national elections, without demonstrating that MongoDB Atlas was specifically deployed for that election-related system.¹⁶

Military and security technology

MongoDB publicly markets its technology to defense agencies and defense contractors, highlighting security controls, operational resilience, application development, and supply-chain management.¹⁷

The generic defense-sector marketing page does not identify an Israeli military customer, specific military database workload, or contract supporting operations in occupied territory.¹⁷

Territorial presence within occupied areas

No public evidence identified of a named MongoDB office, subsidiary facility, company-operated data centre, or verified customer deployment physically situated within an Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, or occupied Golan Heights in the examined corporate location and infrastructure publications.^{5, 10, 11}

UN settlement database and civil-society scrutiny

No public evidence identified establishing that MongoDB itself is named in the examined AFSC Investigate settlement-industry list or the examined Who Profits corporate database results.^{18, 19}

No independently verified MongoDB listing in the UN OHCHR settlement-business database was established by the searches conducted for this audit; the examined corporate documents also do not disclose such a listing.^{7, 18}

No MongoDB-specific allegation from UN report A/HRC/59/23 was independently verified during this investigation.^{18, 19}

Civil-society campaigns and corporate response

No public evidence identified of a documented MongoDB-specific BDS campaign, shareholder divestment action, settlement-related sanctions measure, or official corporate response to such a campaign in the examined civil-society and investor sources.^{18, 19, 20}

Constructive-notice chronology

The Israeli Ministry of Health procurement notice dated 5 December 2024 and the Bank of Israel notice dated 2 February 2025 both postdate 19 July 2024 and the November 2024 ICC arrest-warrant decision.^{13, 14}

The Israeli Ministry of Health’s September 2025 procurement publication concerning 2026 licensing provides a further dated record of proposed public-sector commercial activity after both dates.¹⁵

These procurement records identify database products, suppliers, public-sector institutions, and proposed financial terms, without establishing their use in military or settlement activities.^{13, 14, 15}

Internal Governance, Content & Retail Policies

Employee relations and political expression

No public evidence identified of a verified MongoDB disciplinary action, employment tribunal proceeding, employee dismissal, or union dispute specifically concerning pro-Palestinian speech, Palestinian symbols, or criticism of Israeli government policy in the examined public corporate and governance material.^{7, 20}

Military reservist policies

No public evidence identified establishing a MongoDB-specific policy providing supplemental salary payments, extraordinary bonuses, or other military-service financial assistance to employees serving as Israeli military reservists in the examined corporate publications and disclosures.^{5, 7}

Charitable matching

MongoDB’s March 2022 Ukraine announcement confirms that employees independently donated to organisations assisting civilians affected by the war and that the company provided humanitarian technology credits.³

No public evidence identified establishing that MongoDB’s corporate donation-matching arrangements, if any, specifically financed the IDF, FIDF, JNF, settlement organisations, or Israeli military-welfare programmes in the examined disclosures.^{3, 7}

Platform and editorial policy

MongoDB describes its principal commercial offerings as database software, managed cloud database infrastructure, and related developer services.⁷

No public evidence identified of a MongoDB-specific regulatory investigation, academic finding, or published company decision involving asymmetric moderation of Palestinian content or censorship of Israel-Palestine political speech in the examined product and governance sources.^{7, 20}

Retail and supply-chain policies

MongoDB’s fiscal 2026 disclosures describe a software subscription and cloud-service business, with Atlas and Enterprise Advanced among its principal offerings.⁷

No public evidence identified of a MongoDB-specific settlement-origin product-labeling dispute, settlement-goods sourcing policy, or retail product classification controversy in the examined operating disclosures.^{7, 18}

Shareholder governance and speech-related resolutions

MongoDB’s 2026 proxy statement describes its board composition, executive compensation, corporate governance arrangements, and shareholder voting procedures.²⁰

No public evidence identified in the examined 2026 proxy statement of a shareholder resolution specifically addressing Israel-Palestine due diligence, settlement involvement, or suppression of pro-Palestinian employee advocacy.²⁰

Brand Heritage & State Partnerships

Corporate branding and military heritage

MongoDB markets itself primarily as a developer data platform provider, identifying MongoDB Atlas and its enterprise software offerings as its principal commercial products.⁷

The company separately maintains an industry page directed at defense organisations, advertising security, operational reliability, and database capabilities for defense-sector applications.¹⁷

The available corporate descriptions document defense-sector commercial positioning but do not identify military service, Israeli state-security sponsorship, or Israeli intelligence origins as the company’s founding heritage.^{7, 17}

Israeli state institutions

The December 2024 and September 2025 Israeli Ministry of Health procurement notices identify MongoDB products in proposed public-sector licensing and support arrangements.^{14, 15}

The February 2025 Bank of Israel procurement notice identifies Matrix as the intended supplier of MongoDB-related software and services to the central bank.¹³

These documents establish publicly disclosed commercial procurement relationships involving Israeli state institutions and MongoDB technology.^{13, 14, 15}

Government-associated implementation projects

MongoDB’s Cambium case study describes the company’s use of MongoDB Atlas and its project portfolio involving Israeli government clients.¹⁶

The case study does not independently identify MongoDB as the direct contractor for the election-related project mentioned in Cambium’s customer history.¹⁶

Cultural sponsorships and public diplomacy

MongoDB’s corporate article about its Tel Aviv workforce uses Israel’s technology-sector reputation as part of its recruitment and market positioning.⁵

No public evidence identified of MongoDB sponsoring an Israeli government public-diplomacy campaign, official cultural initiative promoting settlements, or political event endorsing settlement expansion in the examined company publications.^{5, 12}

Academic and research affiliations

No public evidence identified of a documented MongoDB-sponsored programme explicitly designed to advance Israeli settlement policy or Israeli state military objectives through an academic institution in the examined corporate and governance disclosures.^{7, 20}

A MongoDB, Inc. letter dated 20 December 2024, reproduced as Appendix A of the Bank of Israel’s procurement opinion published on 2 February 2025, explicitly confirms that three entities were authorised to resell MongoDB products and services to the Government of Israel: Matrix IT Software Products Ltd, Google Cloud Marketplace, and Amazon Web Services Marketplace. The letter states that, as of 20 December 2024, these were MongoDB’s only authorised reseller partners permitted to sell its subscriptions to the Government of Israel, subject to MongoDB’s standard Customer Agreement. Addressed to Shlomi Aronovich Shaked, Chief Architect in the Digital Services and Technology Division in Jerusalem, the letter bears MongoDB corporate branding and identifies Karin Roettering, Senior Director, Order to Cash, as its signatory. The document therefore establishes an affirmative, company-issued confirmation of authorised Israeli government sales channels, rather than merely a third-party procurement authority’s characterisation of MongoDB’s commercial arrangements. It does not establish that each authorised reseller completed a government sale or identify any military or settlement-related customer.²¹

Appendix B contains an email dated 8 January 2025 from Nir Atias, identified in the correspondence as MongoDB’s Director, Head of Israel Partners, to Bank of Israel representative Rafael Alshekh. Atias explicitly confirms that the Bank of Israel falls within MongoDB’s Government customer category and that the authorised government resellers identified in MongoDB’s accompanying partner-verification letter therefore include the Bank of Israel as an eligible customer. He additionally references an earlier 2016 email by a former MongoDB sales director confirming that the bank was classified as a government customer. This correspondence independently establishes MongoDB’s own affirmative interpretation of its reseller authorisations as extending to Israel’s central bank. It does not establish that MongoDB endorsed the bank’s monetary policies or other Israeli government policies.²¹

The Bank of Israel’s procurement opinion, dated 30 January 2025, distinguishes reseller authorisation from product-delivery capability. It states that although Matrix, Google and Amazon were authorised MongoDB suppliers for Israel’s government sector, the Google and Amazon channels could supply the product only in a cloud configuration, whereas the bank required on-premises licensing. Consequently, the opinion identifies Matrix as the sole supplier capable of meeting that particular requirement. Appendix C includes a further email dated 12 January 2025 from MongoDB’s Nir Atias discussing the bank’s requirement for physical server installations and distinguishing that requirement from cloud marketplace procurement. Taken together, the documents establish MongoDB’s knowledge of, and direct participation in clarifying, the authorised sales channels available to an Israeli state institution. The company’s expressed position is commercial authorisation and customer classification; the correspondence contains no explicit political endorsement of Israeli government conduct or evidence that the identified database applications supported military or settlement activities.²¹

Lobbying, Advocacy, Financing & Logistics

Political lobbying and advocacy

MongoDB’s 2026 annual report and proxy statement disclose the company’s commercial activities, principal risks, governance arrangements, and management structure.^{7, 20}

No public evidence identified in those examined disclosures of a MongoDB corporate lobbying initiative specifically supporting Israeli settlement expansion, opposing Palestinian statehood, or promoting anti-BDS legislation.^{7, 20}

No verified MongoDB-specific Israel-Palestine political expenditure was established from the sources examined for this audit.^{7, 20}

Corporate political financing

No public evidence identified in the examined MongoDB filings and corporate disclosures of a named corporate donation to AIPAC, FIDF, JNF/KKL, Regavim, Im Tirtzu, or an Israeli settlement organisation.^{7, 20}

The examined disclosures do not provide a comprehensive transaction-level account of every payment by individual executives, private foundations, employees, or third-party matching programmes.^{7, 20}

Military and settlement financing

No public evidence identified establishing that MongoDB itself donated money, equipment, cloud credits, or other resources directly to the IDF, FIDF, Israeli military-welfare organisations, or settlement-development bodies in the examined company sources.^{3, 7, 17}

MongoDB’s generic defense-sector commercial marketing does not identify such a transfer.¹⁷

Crisis asset mobilisation

On 15 March 2022, MongoDB announced that it was making free Atlas credits available to organisations developing software intended to assist civilians affected by the Ukraine war.³

The company specifically named Unterkunft Ukraine as a recipient of free cloud credits supporting a refugee accommodation project.³

No public evidence identified of a comparable documented MongoDB corporate programme donating cloud credits, database infrastructure, or logistics directly to Israeli military operations after October 2023 in the examined corporate announcements.^{1, 3, 17}

Commercial cloud infrastructure in Israel

MongoDB announced Atlas expansion into additional cloud regions, including Israel, on 29 February 2024.⁶

The company’s current technical documentation identifies AWS Tel Aviv as a supported Atlas deployment region.¹⁰

The 2024 release history identifies additional Israeli cloud-region availability on AWS and Microsoft Azure.¹¹

Those publications establish commercially available infrastructure in Israel without identifying an Israeli military user or the operational purpose of any particular deployment.^{10, 11}

Public-sector licensing after July and November 2024

Israeli government procurement publications dated December 2024, February 2025, and September 2025 demonstrate continuing proposed commercial procurement involving MongoDB products after both international legal milestones.^{13, 14, 15}

The notices concern central-bank and health-sector technology arrangements and provide no documented basis for classifying the identified workloads as military or settlement-supporting systems.^{13, 14, 15}

Corporate Structure & Primary Mission

Corporate domicile and legal structure

MongoDB, Inc. is incorporated in Delaware and files periodic reports with the US Securities and Exchange Commission under CIK 0001441816.²²

The fiscal 2026 Form 10-K identifies MongoDB’s principal executive offices in New York and describes its business as a developer data platform combining cloud services and enterprise database software.⁷

As of 9 March 2026, the company reported approximately 80.37 million shares of common stock outstanding.⁷

Business model

MongoDB’s fiscal 2026 annual report identifies Atlas, Enterprise Advanced, and associated professional services as principal commercial offerings.⁷

The company’s July 2026 Form 10-Q reported that subscription revenue accounted for 97% of total revenue during the three- and six-month periods ended 31 July 2026.²³

The July 2026 filing also reported approximately USD 771.8 million in total revenue for the three months ended 31 July 2026.²³

International structure

MongoDB’s fiscal 2026 Form 10-K reports international offices across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Asia-Pacific, and South America.⁷

MongoDB’s separate Israel-focused corporate publication confirms a Tel Aviv employee office, while official procurement records identify MONGODB LTD and MongoDB products in Israeli public-sector procurement.^{5, 15}

The examined disclosures do not establish a complete ownership chain for every Israeli or other regional legal entity.^{7, 15}

Ownership and governance

MongoDB’s 2026 proxy statement identifies a ten-member board at the date of the proxy, organised into three director classes.²⁰

The proxy identifies Roelof Botha, Dev Ittycheria, Ann Lewnes, Chirantan Desai, Francisco D’Souza, Charles M. Hazard Jr., Tom Killalea, Archana Agrawal, Hope Cochran, and Dwight Merriman as directors at that reporting date.²⁰

MongoDB’s 28 September 2026 announcement confirms a subsequent leadership change, replacing Chirantan Desai with Dev Ittycheria as interim president and CEO.¹

Foundational mission

MongoDB’s filings describe its commercial purpose through database technology, developer productivity, enterprise applications, and cloud infrastructure.⁷

No public evidence identified in the examined charter-related filings, annual report, and proxy statement of a state-held golden share or formal corporate mandate requiring MongoDB to advance Israeli geopolitical, military, or settlement objectives.^{7, 20, 22}

Executive & Leadership Footprint

Current executive leadership

On 28 September 2026, MongoDB announced that Chirantan “CJ” Desai had stepped down as president and CEO with immediate effect and that Dev Ittycheria had been appointed interim president and CEO.¹

The company stated that its board had initiated a search for a permanent chief executive.¹

MongoDB’s investor relations biography identifies Dev Ittycheria as a director and interim CEO, and describes his professional connections with Sequoia Capital and Datadog.²⁴

Chairman: Tom Killalea

MongoDB identifies Tom Killalea as chairman of its board, a position he has held since July 2019.²

The company’s board biography identifies previous senior technology responsibilities at Amazon and directorships involving Akamai Technologies, Capital One, and Satellogic.²

No public evidence identified in the examined MongoDB board biography of Killalea holding a leadership role in FIDF, JNF, AIPAC, or a named Israeli settlement-advocacy organisation.²

Co-founder: Dwight Merriman

MongoDB identifies Dwight Merriman as a co-founder and director, with a prior role as MongoDB adviser and earlier involvement in DoubleClick, Business Insider, and Gilt Groupe.²

No public evidence identified in the examined MongoDB board biography establishing that Merriman personally financed an Israeli military-welfare or settlement organisation.²

Director: Roelof Botha

MongoDB’s investor relations biography identifies Roelof Botha as a director and documents his long association with Sequoia Capital.²⁵

The biography describes other technology-sector directorships and investment experience, including roles at companies such as Block and Unity Software.²⁵

His association with Sequoia Capital is a documented professional affiliation; the examined biography does not establish that he personally directed a MongoDB-funded Israeli defense investment.²⁵

Director: Francisco D’Souza

MongoDB’s 2026 proxy statement identifies Francisco D’Souza as a member of its board and describes his professional and governance background.²⁰

No public evidence identified in the examined proxy disclosure establishing that he held a leadership position in an Israel-Palestine lobbying organisation or personally financed an Israeli settlement entity.²⁰

Director: Charles M. Hazard Jr.

MongoDB’s investor relations board biography identifies Charles M. Hazard Jr., also known as Chip Hazard, as an investment professional associated with Flybridge Capital Partners.²

No public evidence identified in that examined biography establishing a direct personal contribution to an Israeli military-welfare organisation or a settlement-development fund.²

Other directors

MongoDB’s 2026 proxy identifies Archana Agrawal, Hope Cochran, and Ann Lewnes as directors, together with their professional and governance backgrounds.²⁰

No public evidence identified in the examined proxy biographies establishing that these directors personally held executive positions in organisations specifically lobbying for Israeli settlement expansion.²⁰

Chief financial officer

The 2026 proxy statement identifies Michael Berry as MongoDB’s chief financial officer, with an appointment effective 27 May 2025.²⁰

No public evidence identified in the examined executive disclosures establishing Berry’s personal financial support for Israeli military organisations, military-welfare funds, or settlement entities.²⁰

Former CEO: Chirantan Desai

MongoDB announced Desai’s appointment in November 2025, effective 10 November 2025, following his previous leadership positions at Cloudflare and ServiceNow.²⁶

His departure from MongoDB as CEO took effect on 28 September 2026.¹

No public evidence identified in the examined MongoDB leadership announcements establishing that Desai personally donated to the IDF, FIDF, JNF, or an Israeli settlement organisation during his tenure.^{1, 26}

Personal philanthropy and political advocacy

No public evidence identified in the examined MongoDB executive biographies, 2026 proxy statement, and corporate announcements of named personal donations by MongoDB’s current CEO, chairman, co-founder, or other identified directors to Israeli military-welfare bodies or settlement organisations.^{2, 20, 24, 25}

The corporate sources examined do not provide a complete record of personal donations, private family foundations, or independently controlled investment vehicles.^{20, 25}

Executive-level public advocacy

No public evidence identified in the examined official MongoDB leadership materials of a current MongoDB director or executive issuing a verifiable corporate-authorised statement endorsing Israeli settlement expansion or directly requesting financial contributions to the IDF.^{1, 2, 24}

Continuing leadership and governance

MongoDB’s 28 September 2026 CEO transition announcement confirms that the board continued its corporate governance responsibilities while initiating a permanent CEO search.¹

The company’s investor relations disclosures continue to identify Ittycheria as interim CEO and Killalea as chairman in October 2026.^{2, 24}

MongoDB’s primary corporate leadership page, examined on 23 October 2026, identifies Dev Ittycheria as “President & CEO (Interim)” and describes him as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board. Its biographical text also identifies his professional affiliations with Sequoia Capital and Datadog, matching the substance of the existing investor-relations biography claim. Separately, MongoDB’s 28 September 2026 leadership announcement and the corresponding SEC-filed exhibit confirm that Ittycheria became interim president and CEO with immediate effect and expressly identify Tom Killalea as chairman of the board. On 29 September 2026, Ittycheria independently confirmed his interim appointment in a first-person MongoDB corporate publication. These post-transition primary sources confirm the existing “Current executive leadership” and “Continuing leadership and governance” statements concerning the appointments and provide evidence unavailable in the August 2025 and 26 September 2026 archive snapshots cited in End Notes 21 and 2. They do not independently establish the precise wording of the investor-relations biography or a separately dated October 2026 investor-relations disclosure.^{27, 1, 28, 29}

September–October 2026 - no public evidence identified: a separately dated October 2026 primary investor-relations disclosure, accessible on an eligible host, independently establishing both Ittycheria’s interim CEO title and Killalea’s continuing chairmanship specifically during October. The examined September 2026 announcement, SEC exhibit, subsequent corporate publication, and live corporate leadership page establish the transition and its continued public presentation at the time examined, but the undated leadership page cannot independently prove its publication or revision date. The existing claim that investor-relations disclosures “continue to identify” both individuals in October should therefore be treated as partially corroborated rather than independently verified as an October-dated investor-relations statement.^{27, 1, 28, 29}

The MongoDB investor-relations biography preserved by the Wayback Machine on 11 August 2025 identifies Dev Ittycheria as “Director, President & Chief Executive Officer.” Its biographical text also describes him as MongoDB’s serving president and CEO, references his role in the company’s 2017 IPO, and identifies his Datadog directorship and earlier software-industry leadership positions. The archived document therefore supports his executive title as of August 2025, together with those historical professional affiliations. It cannot support the retrospective attribution “Director, Interim President & Chief Executive Officer” appearing in existing End Note 21, because the interim appointment occurred more than thirteen months after the archived capture. The underlying biography is accessible and confirms the historical title; the unsupported element is the attribution of his subsequent interim title to the August 2025 snapshot.²⁴

The later leadership chronology is independently established by dated primary sources. MongoDB’s 3 November 2025 announcement appointed Chirantan Desai as president and CEO effective 10 November 2025, with Ittycheria remaining a director. MongoDB’s 28 September 2026 announcement and corresponding SEC-filed exhibit document Desai’s departure and Ittycheria’s appointment as interim president and CEO effective immediately. Ittycheria personally acknowledged returning as interim CEO in a corporate article dated 29 September 2026. MongoDB’s subsequently observed leadership page presents him as “President & CEO (Interim).” An additional SEC Form 8-K dated 15 October 2026 independently confirms the September appointment and reports that Ittycheria executed an employment agreement on 14 October 2026, effective retrospectively from 28 September. This October-dated filing supplies direct contemporaneous evidence of the interim arrangement beyond the September announcements and undated leadership page. The original August 2025 biography should therefore retain its historical attribution, while the September and October 2026 sources support the later appointment and continued leadership presentation.^{30, 1, 28, 29, 31}
