MongoDB Inc (MDB)

[Dell_Griffith]

Since July 2020, Mark Porter has been CTO at next-generation independent database vendor MongoDB. It's a role he relishes as looks to help grow the company.

MongoDB is a popular open source document database that has made increasing inroads into the database as a service (DBaaS) market with its MongoDB Atlas cloud service. On July 13, Porter helped launch the MongoDB 5.0 platform, which introduced enhanced time series data support as well as live re-sharding.

Porter has had a long and varied career in the data and database market, during which he worked for Oracle for 11 years and was general manager of Amazon's RDS database service for five years.
