There seems to be some high level execs that just left. I wonder why they left before the IPO - maybe their options were forced to expire? Matt Kroll was their head of sales and he just went to google - how is Mongo going to grow without a good sales team?
- Titan799 9y agoHi Ric Johnson. This post is extremely inaccurate and false. Please remove it. Thank you. Matt Kroll
- fyrerise 9y agoCan you clarify what you mean by this? You're Matt Kroll and you're confirming that you still work for MongoDB? (I'm afraid that nothing is obvious from anyone's usernames.)
- meritt 9y agoJust do a bit of digging. Both names dropped appear to be accurate from usernames/profiles. Matt did indeed leave MongoDB for Google, that much is accurate.
- Titan799 9y agoYes, and that is the only part that is accurate. If you look at my LinkedIn profile, you will see that I was NEVER Head of Sales at MongoDB.
- Titan799 9y agoI'm Matt Kroll. I can confirm I was never Head of Sales at MongoDB. And I can confirm (as anyone can see on LinkedIn.com) that I departed MongoDB for Google to continue to work as an Enterprise sales rep.
- opendomain 9y agoMatt - you posted on linkedIn that you left Mongo for Google a few weeks ago. What part is false?
- Titan799 9y agoRic- I was never Head of Sales of MongoDB. That is false. I was merely an individual contributor as an Enterprise rep. Please edit your post immediately
- opendomain 9y agoMatt, I would remove my comment because I respect what you did for Mongo but I hesitate because my statements are not false. I will correct that you were not "Head isms sales" - it looks like your title was Enterprise Account Executive and you were responsible for the Fintech sales? You did you leave Mongo for Google right before the IpO?
- Titan799 9y agoYour statement that I was "Head of Sales" is completely false. My job title has had nothing to do with Fintech sales since 2014. I did leave MongoDB in 2017, as did plenty of other people, and just as plenty of other people leave companies they work for every year. MongoDB, in fact, is a great company with a great product, and the reasons I left are completely personal and private. No inference can be drawn from my departure as to the state of the company- doing so would be completely unfounded and reckless.
- arrty88 9y agoAre you implying something? People vest and move on. Whats the point?
- threeseed 9y agoWow continue digging the hole. You were completely wrong and borderline libellous with your insinuation. Shame on you.
- hartator 9y agoI don't fully get why you seem so upset about it. The OP seems to have made a faithful mistake and it doesn't seem to impact your reputation. Maybe the opposite. Why caring?
- throwaway7773 9y agoSource?
- opendomain 9y agoMatt has asked me to edit my post, but that does not seem possible now. This is a correction: I made a honest mistake: I thought Matt was head of sales but looking at LinkedIn, Matt's actual title was 'Enterprise Account Executive' and 'solely responsible for managing all [Fintech] sales'. I believe their largest sales channel is Enterprise Financial Services and so I was concerned about Mongo's IPO since some people left - especially right beforehand. I respect Matt and believe his comments, but I did NOT lie.
