Former Adobe and Intel executive brings
decades of marketing and corporate strategy experience from
high-growth technology companies to MongoDB Board of
Directors
NEW
YORK, Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- MongoDB, Inc.
(NASDAQ: MDB) today announced the appointment of Ann Lewnes to its Board of Directors. Lewnes was
previously in senior leadership roles at Adobe Systems, Inc., a
multinational software company that offers digital marketing and
media solutions, from 2006 to 2023, most recently as Chief
Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President of Corporate
Strategy and Development during a period of massive growth.
Lewnes brings decades of expertise in all aspects of marketing,
customer acquisition, and growth strategies to the MongoDB Board,
having helped scale Adobe into a globally recognized,
multi-billion-dollar brand. Lewnes was instrumental in a
significant transition of Adobe's business model from perpetual
software licensing to a subscription-based scheme that delivered
new application features to customers more quickly, accelerated
revenue growth, and positioned the company as a leader in software
and digital technology for consumers and enterprises.
Prior to Adobe, Lewnes was at Intel Corporation where she
held a variety of leadership positions during her 20-year tenure at
the company, including Vice President of Sales and Marketing. At
Intel, Lewnes led global marketing strategies that drove adoption
of Intel semiconductors and differentiated the company's expanding
suite of products among consumers and business professionals during
an extremely high-growth period that resulted in a market-leading
position for the company.
"Ann has a remarkable mix of leadership experience scaling two
important businesses across a variety of disciplines including
customer-focused marketing, communications, and corporate strategy,
and we are thrilled for the unique perspective she will bring to
the MongoDB Board," said Dev Ittycheria, President and CEO at
MongoDB. "Ann's expertise in leading marketing and corporate
strategy for high-growth and mega-scale companies will be
especially helpful as we continue to differentiate MongoDB's
developer data platform as the number one choice for developers at
startups and enterprises alike to build next-generation
applications."
"I'm incredibly excited to join the MongoDB Board of Directors,
given the importance of operational data in building software and
application experiences that are disrupting industries in the era
of generative AI," said Lewnes. "MongoDB's products and services
are loved by millions of developers for their ability to build
sophisticated applications that truly transform a company's
business. As the need to build smarter applications becomes even
more important, MongoDB is perfectly positioned to help its
customers innovate as our industry enters this exciting new
computing paradigm."
Lewnes has also served on the Board of Directors of Mattel,
Inc. since 2015, where she currently chairs the Governance and
Social Responsibility Committee. Lewnes also serves as vice chair
on the Board of Trustees at Lehigh
University, where she previously earned a bachelor's degree
in international relations and journalism, and as a director on the
Sundance Institute Board of Trustees. Lewnes was elected into the
American Advertising Foundation's Hall of Achievement and was
inducted into the American Marketing Association's Hall of Fame in
2019. In 2020, Lewnes received the New York Women in
Communications' Matrix Award.
