Darwinbox, a global HR technology leader, has appointed Sudi Bjornstad Korba as Senior Vice President of Sales for North America. With nearly two decades of experience in HR leadership and enterprise technology sales, Korba joins at a pivotal moment as Darwinbox aims to scale its presence in the world’s largest HR tech market.
In her new role, Korba will lead revenue strategy and spearhead U.S. market expansion, helping American enterprises modernize HR operations and elevate employee experiences. Her previous leadership roles at UKG and her tenure as VP of HR at PSAV (now Encore Global) provide a unique blend of sales acumen and HR expertise.
“We are thrilled to welcome Sudi to Darwinbox,” said Jayant Paleti, Co-founder of Darwinbox. “Her global sales success and HR roots make her a tremendous asset in delivering agile, next-gen solutions across the U.S.”
This appointment follows Darwinbox’s $140 million investment round co-led by KKR and Partners Group and underscores the company’s strategic commitment to North America. The company has opened offices on both U.S. coasts, accelerated hiring, and formed an advisory board with senior HR leaders from Netflix, Airbnb, and Radford.
Korba expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity:
“Darwinbox is a truly next-gen, AI-powered, and globally scalable platform. I’m beyond excited to bring organizations a solution that simplifies complexity, drives agility, and empowers HR teams to make bold, strategic impact.”
Darwinbox’s end-to-end HCM suite—trusted by global brands like Starbucks, Subway, Adidas, Zara, and EXL—continues to gain recognition, including being named a Challenger in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Cloud HCM Suites.
