THE sense of anticipation walking into the global
headquarters of nCino is palpable. In Wilmington,
it is almost impossible not to have heard about
the recent IPO or the tremendous growth of the
company, a leader in financial services technology. With over
$250 million in revenues from 2021 and a global client base
including more than 1,200 financial institutions, the success
of the company is undeniable.
The hustle and bustle in the lobby of the building off
Parker Farm Road at Mayfaire is certainly no surprise for a
thriving company filled with young professionals at the top
of their game. The interior vibe is decidedly warm and casual,
with noise-dampening accent walls, lots of natural stone,
and soft textures and hues.
“We try to invest in our employees wherever possible, and I
like to think the interiors of our buildings reflect that goal,” says
Katie Smith, senior vice president of finance and operations.
“Our employees are the lifeblood of this organization and we
ask a lot of them sometimes. With that in mind, we focused on
creating a relaxing indoor environment, a sort of home away
from home.”
Giving back is something the company is known for, and the
on-site Bitty and Beau’s coffee shop is just one example. The
partnership with Bitty
and Beau’s — the company that employs
individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities —
to host an on-site location is only the second of its kind.
The entrance lobby to the global corporate headquarters of nCino features a statement-making water wall, vintage light fixtures and
lush green botanicals. The upper level conference room is one of the most popular, as it has one of the largest botanical accent walls on
the premises. It serves as a beautiful example of the overall design approach, which balances modern features such as stainless steel
and expansive interior glass walls with natural design elements, including hardwood ceilings and ledger stone accent walls.
