Max Schireson
businessperson
Max Schireson is a technology executive, best known as CEO of MongoDB, and a competitive bridge player. In 2014, he stepped down from CEO to focus more on his family. 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.
At age 14, Schireson enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley to study math but left before graduating to pursue a career in Silicon Valley.
Schireson has won one North American Bridge Championship, the 2017 Grand National Teams Flight C, an event limited to teams of Non-Life-Masters with under 500 masterpoints. His highest finishes in unlimited North American Bridge Championship events were 8th in the 2025 Freeman Mixed Board-a-Match Teams and 18th in the 2025 Roth Open Swiss Teams. He has qualified for the finals of the Edgar Kaplan Blue Ribbon Pairs five times and the finals of the Von Zedtwitz Life Master Pairs 3 times.
Since 2014, he serve as a non-executive director at Cray Inc., and a consultant at Battery Ventures.
Personal life
He has a wife who is a doctor and professor.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Max Schireson” as businessperson. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as businessperson. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6795213. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014, 2017 and 2025.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
