Sudeep Cherian is the Vice President of Product Marketing at Cornerstone, where he leads the global product marketing organization responsible for defining Cornerstone’s market narrative, shaping its go-to-market strategy, and positioning the company’s next generation of workforce agility solutions. With over two decades of experience across enterprise technology, HR tech, and AI-driven platforms, Sudeep is a recognized thought leader on how organizations can drive workforce transformation by connecting skills, learning, and mobility into a unified workforce ecosystem.
At Cornerstone, Sudeep is a driving force behind the strategic positioning of Cornerstone. He works across product, strategy, sales, and executive teams to ensure Cornerstone’s customers—and the broader HR community—understand how to harness AI safely, responsibly, and effectively to build high performance, future-ready teams. Sudeep’s work is especially relevant at a time when organizations face what he calls the “silent AI phenomenon”—a widening disconnect between how much companies encourage AI use and how reluctant employees are to disclose it. With most workers privately experimenting with AI tools, and many leaders unsure how to guide or measure this behavior, Sudeep champions a more connected and transparent approach.
He helps organizations understand how skills intelligence, personalized learning, and AI-guided talent pathways can turn this hidden usage into a catalyst for organizational agility, upskilling, and mobility. At Unleash America, Sudeep will explore how organizations can close “missed connections” between employers and employees by leveraging connected learning, skills intelligence, and AI agents to create a continuous development cycle. His insights highlight the path toward a more adaptive, resilient workforce—and a more empowered, future-ready employee experience.
