His acquisition of Cornerstone Technologies is now showcasing unwavering commitment to excellence in service.

From a young age, Michael has been a proactive leader. At 14, he started digging ditches to help pay his parents’ mortgage, and by 15, he had launched a lawn mower repair business. His dedication continued as he played a role in the United States Marine Corps, by being one of the first 720 troops on the ground in Saudi Arabia and participating in Task Force Ripper which liberated Kuwait City during the Gulf War. Michael has always led from the front, unafraid to go the extra mile to accomplish the mission.

After nine years of service in the Marines and a medical separation, Michael earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Management with a Minor in Computer Science from North Carolina State University. His career has been characterized by leadership roles, from managing small landscaping crews to leading Marines in combat, corporate departments, and now two successful companies.

Skip McCormick

CTO/ Principal

After serving as a member of Cornerstone Technologies’ Board of Directors for a long while, Skip McCormick accepted the full-time role as Chief Technology Officer and Artificial Intelligence Practice Lead, pioneering efforts to service the many advanced and complex needs of our clients.

After a fascinating career that began at the U.S. Naval Academy, serving as a Surface Warfare Officer and shifting to systems engineering and consulting, Skip developed a client list that included the NSA (National Security Agency).

More recently, Skip joins us full-time after over five years as a Managing Director at the Bank of New York, where he innovated the firm’s AI practice and led AI Risk Governance for BNY’s new Artificial Intelligence HUB.

Jon Bollum

COO/ Principal

Jon has always been driven by his curiosity, his lifelong love of learning, and his interest in helping people. These traits have led Jon to be a seasoned professional with extensive experience in technology, operations and building custom systems. He leads by example and loves brainstorming with customers and colleagues alike.

From owning his own printing press at age 12 to help his father’s business to teaching SCUBA diving and adapting that for people with disabilities, Jon has always come from a place of wanting to help and looking for ways to make things better for others. This has extended to talking to customers about their needs and wants and identifying the areas for improvement, rather than selling them things.

In college, he focused on printing and business, thriving on learning about the burgeoning computer industry and the beginnings of desktop publishing. He has a tireless work ethic and loyalty that has seen him start as employee number 7 at a local printing company as an operator to staying 27 years and leaving as VP of Operations and Technology. Jon designed and led technology and operational solutions, managed facility operations, and developed processes that helped evolve the company into a national digital printing company. At the heart of it all was his interest in helping customers achieve their goals.
