D'Souza also serves on the Board of Directors of General Electric Company, on the Board of Trustees of Carnegie Mellon University and as Co-Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the New York Hall of Science. He is a member of the World Economic Forum and serves as the 2019 Chairman of its IT and Electronics Governors community.

"Frank has tremendous experience scaling a Fortune 200 technology company with a giant market opportunity and maintaining high growth over a sustained period of time, the very things MongoDB is striving to do in the database market," said Dev Ittycheria, President & CEO of MongoDB. "Frank led Cognizant's transformation into one of the world's most admired and successful technology companies. His knowledge will be invaluable as we continue to transform the global database industry with our disruptive technology."
