• Expand Cornerstone's footprint across products (learning, performance, talent acquisition, AI-driven workforce solutions).
• Build and execute strategic account plans mapping org structure, executive stakeholders, budget cycles, and competitive exposure.
• Drive and defend renewals, protecting and growing ARR.
• Lead discovery workshops and executive business reviews that position Cornerstone against competitors.
