Max Schireson

Max Schireson is a technology executive, best known as CEO of MongoDB, and a competitive bridge player.[1] In 2014, he stepped down from CEO to focus more on his family.[2] A tipping point for Schireson came on a long-delayed overnight flight to Austin. The CEO woke up in Tucson to discover his flight had gone through an emergency landing and needed to replace some crew members traumatized by the experience–all while he slept, desperately trying to catch up on rest.[3]
