Mark Zuckerberg is on a roll. Fresh off his triumphant rollout of the Muse personal agent, he signaled his commitment to selling AI to companies by announcing the poaching of CJ Desai, MongoDB’s CEO, as head of a newly created Meta Enterprise Platform business. Desai has had a long career in enterprise software, at companies including ServiceNow and Cloudflare before MongoDB, making him a significant hire. We still don’t know exactly how expansive Meta Platforms’ ambitions are for enterprise. Will Zuckerberg use some of its data center capacity to go into the neocloud business? Zuckerberg’s announcement—and Desai’s own background—suggest Meta is more interested in selling AI agents and software to businesses. Whatever the case, Zuckerberg must have made a good case to Desai about the scope of his ambitions. Desai only joined MongoDB last November, and presumably he wouldn’t have bolted without a very good reason (and/or a big paycheck). It’s a pity he couldn’t have negotiated a better title than chief enterprise platform officer, however. https://about.fb.com/news/2026/09/launching-meta-enterprise-platform/?utm_campaign=article_email&utm_content=article-17903&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sg

Is there a fire alarm going off at Microsoft’s headquarters? A slew of Microsoft executives have bolted for the exits in recent weeks, most recently Ryan Roslansky, executive vice president of Office apps, who said Thursday he would leave at the end of this year. A day earlier it was Microsoft Science President Peter Lee’s turn. Both follow a bunch of other senior exits over the past few months, most prominently Office and Windows chief Rajesh Jha. Those exiting are mostly veterans who had been at the company for 15 years or more. Each had their own reasons for leaving, we’d guess—for example, new jobs elsewhere. But it’s likely not a coincidence they’re choosing to leave as Microsoft, like other companies, is having to rethink how it operates to deal with both the opportunities and the threats posed by AI. In this environment, it makes sense that people who have been at Microsoft for years and probably have made a lot of money on the stock (it’s up 1,289% since 2014, according to Koyfin) would decide to get out now while the going is good. After all, while Microsoft’s cloud operation will surely grow faster as a result of AI workloads, new AI services could undercut its software business. If you’re a Microsoft veteran who no longer has the hunger to prove yourself, why deal with the stress? Leave it to younger people. It’s also notable that in recent months, CEO Satya Nadella has been promoting younger folk, such as Asha Sharma, who has recently been getting a lot of attention as she shakes up the troubled gaming unit. And in the spring, Nadella put Charles Lamanna and Jacob Andreou in charge of Copilot. Both Andreou and Sharma are relatively new to Microsoft, having previously worked at Snap and Instacart, respectively, among other places. Who else might leave? Microsoft is a 51-year-old company, so there are probably lots of veterans. Roslansky’s and Lee’s departures this week surely won’t be the last. #Game addicts 🤪🎮 https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/arts/xbox-microsoft-asha-sharma.html?utm_campaign=article_email&utm_content=article-17920&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sg
