VERSES AI Inc., a cognitive computing company specializing in next-generation agentic software systems, has appointed David T. Scott, former Head of Global Marketing Strategy, Analytics, and Operations at Amazon Web Services (AWS), to its board of directors, effective immediately. Scott replaces G. Scott Paterson, who stepped down on September 30, 2025, as the company prepares for its next phase of growth. This strategic move aligns with VERSES' focus on scaling commercialization of its flagship Genius™ platform, designed for domain-specific predictions and decisions.
David T. Scott’s appointment strengthens VERSES’ board as the company accelerates the rollout of its Genius™ platform, an agentic intelligence system rooted in scientific, physical, and biological principles for reliable decision-making under uncertainty. With over 25 years of executive experience, Scott’s tenure at AWS—where he managed a 3,500-person marketing team and drove strategic growth—positions him to guide VERSES’ global marketing and sales expansion. His prior roles at Twitter, AT&T, PeopleSoft, Honeywell, and General Electric, combined with his entrepreneurial ventures, add depth to his strategic oversight.
“I want to welcome David to the Board at this exciting phase of commercialization and growth,” said Gabriel René, Founder and CEO of VERSES. “His expertise in scaling global marketing and sales operations will help provide important support for VERSES’ ongoing commercial growth. I also want to thank Scott for his valuable contributions and dedicated service during an important chapter of our development.”
“I am honored to have this opportunity to join the Board at VERSES,” said David Scott. “The Genius™ product is unique and unlike anything I've seen in the market, and I'm excited to support VERSES in bringing it to market.”
Scott’s additional roles as a board member at Marigold, author of two HarperCollins bestsellers on marketing strategy, and educator at San Diego State University and guest lecturer at UC Berkeley’s Haas School and Wharton further enhance his ability to steer VERSES’ market strategy.
As shown in the finance card above, VERSES AI (VERS) is trading at $61.781 per share as of October 2, 2025, reflecting a 0.71% increase from the previous close of $61.3488. The stock is near its 52-week high of $62.61, with a 32% return over the past six months, signaling strong market confidence in VERSES’ growth trajectory. Over the past year, the stock has risen from $43.6648 in October 2024 to its current level, a 41.5% increase, driven by milestones like recent commercial expansions and a $7 million public offering announced concurrently with Scott’s appointment.
The addition of Scott to the board aligns with VERSES’ strategic pivot toward commercial scaling, particularly for its Genius™ platform, which aims to elevate enterprise decision-making through agentic AI. His expertise in high-growth environments complements recent leadership moves, including the appointment of Dr. David Bray to chair VERSES’ Strategic Advisory Council in June 2025, signaling a focus on both technical and market leadership. The transition from G. Scott Paterson, who served during a formative period, reflects VERSES’ readiness to advance into a high-growth phase, leveraging Scott’s global operational insights.
This board change follows other executive updates, such as James Hendrickson’s appointment as COO in July 2024 and President in April 2025, and Kevin Wilson as EVP of Finance and Accounting in February 2025, reinforcing a robust leadership structure for sustained growth.
