Our Principals

Rodney Ashby

Rodney Ashby is the Managing Principal of Cornerstone RPO and co-owns delivery, offering executive leadership and oversight over all of Cornerstone RPO’s operations and engagements. His role extends into the business development process serving as Cornerstone RPO’s subject matter expert in recruiting strategies, process design and project execution.

Rodney’s background of success started on the hard court as a Division I starting Center and Captain of his alma mater, Virginia Commonwealth University, where he also earned his B.S. Degree. His basketball career continued beyond his collegiate days and beyond the U.S. borders, playing professional basketball in Brazil and touring through Europe playing against the Harlem Globetrotters.

After coaching back at VCU, Rodney hung up his size 15 high tops and moved into the world of recruitment. Early in this new career Rodney found his professional passion, rising rapidly through the ranks of the nation’s largest IT and Communications Staffing Firm. After several years in leadership roles with a national management consulting firm specializing in Talent Acquisition, Rodney’s entrepreneurial instincts led him to cofound his own recruiting consulting company, Cornerstone RPO.
