🌞 Summer Intern Season = Our Favorite Season! 🌞
One week in, and our 2026 Summer Intern class is already bringing all the energy, curiosity, and creativity we love to see at Cornerstone!
 
From welcome‑lunch laughs 🥗 to competitive ping‑pong showdowns 🏓…
From learning sessions in the conference room 💡 to after‑hours video‑game battles in the kitchen 🎮…
This crew jumped right into the mix — and we’re so here for it!
 
Our Summer Internship Program is one of the highlights of our year because it does more than teach skills — it builds future teammates. Over the years, we’ve welcomed back several interns as full‑time Cornerstone employees, and watching them grow into rock‑star professionals is one of our proudest traditions. 🚀✨
 
Here’s to a summer of learning, laughter, big ideas, and even bigger potential.
Welcome to the Cornerstone team, interns — we’re so excited to have you! 💙🤍 ... See MoreSee Less

Last week our team hit the ground in Tampa for SOF Week, the premier gathering for the global Special Operations Forces community — and wow, what an energy-packed experience. ⚡️
 
From cutting-edge tech demos to powerful conversations with operators, leaders, and industry partners, our goal was simple: be among the people. To listen. To learn. To understand how we can meaningfully show up in a space that’s as mission‑driven (and tough to break into!) as this one. 💬🤝
 
And based on the connections made and the insights gained, we’re more energized than ever. 🚀
 
Swipe through for a snapshot of the tech, talent, and teamwork that made the week unforgettable. 📸✨
 
Here’s to continuing the conversations — and building solutions that truly support those on the front lines!

The hardest part of AI isn’t building it. It’s adoption. ⚙️👩🏼‍💻 That’s why this next step for Cornerstone matters so much.

We’re excited to welcome Dave Cook as our new Chief Innovation Officer as we continue expanding our focus on AI, advanced analytics, human-machine teaming, and cognitive solutions.

Dave brings decades of experience across the Intelligence Community, AI strategy, education, and emerging technology — but what stood out most to us is his belief that innovation only matters if people can actually use it effectively.

As the industry evolves, we’re focused on staying close to the mission while helping customers navigate what AI adoption really looks like in practice.
