Meta launches Enterprise Platform, hires MongoDB CEO CJ Desai to lead it

A new pillar for Meta's business

Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the move, describing Meta Enterprise Platform as "the next major pillar" of the company's business. He said Meta believes superintelligence will create significant new opportunities for people and businesses, and noted that Meta already serves billions of people at scale and helps hundreds of millions of businesses reach customers.

According to Zuckerberg, the new unit will draw on strengths that few other companies have: advanced models, leading agents, large-scale infrastructure, and years of working closely with many businesses.

What Meta plans to offer

Meta says it will initially focus on bringing its full technology stack to businesses and developers. The products named in the announcement are:

• Muse agent
• Meta Business Agent
• Muse API
• Muse Code

Zuckerberg added that the offering will include more than these, though the announcement gives no further details. It also does not mention pricing, availability dates or specific customers.

CJ Desai takes the lead

Desai will report directly to Zuckerberg. Meta describes him as an experienced enterprise leader with a track record of building full-stack software and delivering results in AI, infrastructure, business applications, and security. He joins from MongoDB, where he was CEO and President. Before that he led product and engineering at Cloudflare and spent nearly eight years at ServiceNow, including as President and COO.

Zuckerberg said Desai has an extensive industry network that Meta looks forward to partnering with.

Desai's pitch to enterprises

In his own statement, Desai said AI will "fundamentally redefine how organizations of all sizes innovate, grow, serve customers, and run business operations." He argued that Meta has a unique role because it combines advanced models and leading agents with a proven record of helping millions of advertisers and hundreds of millions of businesses scale.

He said Meta Enterprise Platform will focus on turning its AI stack into products and services that companies can deploy for their own businesses. Security and privacy, he said, are built into Meta's enterprise products from the outset, as with Muse. His stated goal is to make Meta "the place enterprises come to scale their businesses."

What it means for businesses

The announcement signals that Meta wants to sell AI tools and agents directly to companies and developers, going beyond its established role of helping businesses reach customers. Details that enterprise buyers would need, such as product timelines, pricing and terms, were not part of the announcement, so the practical impact will depend on what Meta releases under the new platform.
