We take Pride in being a certified women-owned organization.
Meet Our Owner
Jody Smith is well-known for her endless energy, outgoing personality, exceptional business acumen, and unwavering commitment to supporting communities and nonprofit organizations. Her professional background includes sales and sales management roles with Colgate-Palmolive and the Noxell Corporation, where she led key markets in Chicago, New York, and Dallas-Fort Worth.
In 1991, Jody co-founded CornerStone Staffing, which includes CornerStone Professional Placement and CornerStone Technology Talent Services. She later founded CornerStone Medical in 2017 and today proudly serves as the sole owner and President of these woman-owned businesses. Under her leadership, CornerStone has grown to employ over 85 professionals, offering direct hire, executive search, and staffing and recruitment services nationwide—with a strong presence in Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana. She attributes the company’s continued success to the exceptional team around her.
A dedicated community leader, Jody served three terms as Mayor of Flower Mound, Texas, and has long been active in economic development through her work with local Chambers of Commerce and state legislators. Passionate about causes that support women and children, she leverages her network to uplift others and encourages her team—and their families—to give back, instilling in the next generation the importance of service and community involvement.
