Doug Bowers

Doug Bowers is chief information security officer at MongoDB, a title MongoDB itself confirmed in the results release accompanying its first-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings. SecurityWeek's industry-moves roundup for the Week of April 27, 2026 recorded the appointment and said he previously served as vice president of various divisions within ServiceNow, Dell and Symantec.

Career path

That same SecurityWeek item adds that earlier in his career Bowers worked as a software engineer, before moving into the vice-president roles at the three companies it names. An older RSA Conference expert page, dating from his time at Symantec, describes him then as vice president of the Enterprise Security Group, overseeing engineering and product management for the company's endpoint security, messaging and web security, and data center security lines. The same page put his information-management experience at 18 years as of that writing and said he had previously served as Symantec's senior director of messaging security, focused on core anti-spam technology, data center operations and messaging threat intelligence.

MongoDB's disclosure of the appointment

MongoDB's own SEC filing, covering the quarter ended April 30, 2026 and filed with regulators on May 28, 2026, lists the Bowers appointment among a wider set of leadership changes that quarter, alongside a new chief revenue officer and two new chief product officers. The filing describes MongoDB as a data platform used by more than 67,000 customers across almost every industry, including about 75 percent of the Fortune 100.

None of the three sources gives an exact day of the week for Bowers's first day at MongoDB, so this profile treats his appointment as dated only to the week SecurityWeek reported it and the quarter MongoDB's filing covers.
