Nscale Adds Adobe and Lennar Director Amy Banse to Its Board

A governance appointment as the company scales

Nscale announced the appointment on Oct. 6, 2026. According to the company, Banse brings more than 30 years of corporate strategy, investment and governance experience. She currently sits on the boards of Adobe, Lennar Corporation and On Holding AG, and previously served on the board of The Clorox Company.

Nscale founder and CEO Josh Payne tied the appointment to the company's growth. "As we scale, the quality of our governance matters as much as the quality of our infrastructure," Payne said. He added that Banse "brings substantial experience to Nscale at a pivotal moment."

Banse's background

Banse has held several board leadership roles. According to the announcement, she served as Chair of the Compensation Committee at Adobe, and has also served on the compensation committees of On Holding AG and Clorox. That experience is relevant to her new role leading Nscale's Compensation Committee.

She has also worked with younger companies. The company says she has served on the boards of several high-growth start-ups and pre-IPO companies, including Nextdoor, Anchor and Quantifind. Earlier in her career, Banse was Executive Vice President at Comcast Corporation and Managing Director and Head of Funds at Comcast Ventures.

What Banse said about Nscale

Banse described AI as "the cornerstone of the next economy" and said Nscale is "uniquely positioned to be one of the handful of companies that shape that future." She said she was impressed by the company's "extraordinary growth" and by the ambition of Payne and his team. In her words, everyone she met across the organization shared a vision for "building a true vertical AI cloud platform."
