Kenny Gorman
Head Of Streaming Products at MongoDB
Austin, Texas, United States
Summary
👤
SeniorKenny Gorman is a seasoned data and streaming products leader based in Austin with 11 years of senior experience building Internet-scale database and stream-processing systems. As Head of Streaming Products at MongoDB and former founder/CEO of Eventador (acquired by Cloudera), he combines product leadership with deep hands-on expertise in Kafka, Flink, SQL/NoSQL engines, and large-scale database architecture. His career spans founding two data-focused startups, leading DBaaS at ObjectRocket (acquired by Rackspace), and directing data services at Shutterfly, where he was an early adopter and contributor to MongoDB tooling. Kenny is known for squeezing order-of-magnitude improvements from systems—whether online compressions that cut response times by 500% or payment throughput fixes at PayPal—while bridging engineering, operations, and product. A self-described “data nerd” and ex-CEO, he brings rare breadth: from low-level performance tuning and DB internals to product strategy for streaming platforms.
