Meta appoints former MongoDB CEO Chirantan “CJ” Desai to lead enterprise AI push

Summary

Meta has appointed Chirantan “CJ” Desai as chief enterprise platform officer to lead the newly launched Meta Enterprise Platform and its enterprise AI push. Desai, who became MongoDB’s president and CEO in November 2025 after senior roles at Oracle, Symantec, EMC, ServiceNow and Cloudflare, will report directly to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg described the platform as a future major pillar of Meta’s business, combining the company’s advanced models, agents, large-scale infrastructure and experience serving businesses. Its initial offering is expected to bring products including the Muse AI agent, Meta Business Agent, Muse API and Muse Code coding agent to businesses and developers. Meta is pursuing the move as it seeks to monetize substantial AI investment and compete in an enterprise market that includes OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft and Amazon. The company has said it may offer business APIs, agents and potentially computing directly to customers. Meta Business Agent is already available globally on WhatsApp and Messenger, with an Instagram rollout planned. Muse is described as central to Meta’s longer-term strategy, with the company expecting eventually to take a small fee from transactions completed through the agent. Desai said Meta aims to become a place where enterprises can use advanced models and agents to scale operations, though the article does not provide revenue figures or a launch timetable for the full platform.
