Keith Bumstead

Managing Partner

Keith Bumstead has more than 10 years experience successfully managing staff augmentation and professional services teams across the financial services sector. After becoming one of the most successful employees at one of Canada’s top IT staffing companies, Keith went on to run the Canadian operations for a multi-national technology consulting firm.

Following his passion for delivering exceptional on-demand staff augmentation and outstanding end-to-end solutions for their customer’s most challenging projects, Keith co-founded CORE Resources, a technology partner that provides superior broad-based IT staff augmentation services with particularly deep expertise in the areas of Agile, DevOps and Cloud.

Success hasn’t come easy for Keith; he has suffered from a lifelong disability that has been recognized by the Inclusive Workplace and Supply Council of Canada (IWSCC), and has enabled CORE Resources to become formally certified as a Diversity Supplier.

Between running CORE Resources and raising a family, Keith has made a commitment to give back to the community by seeking out opportunities to mentor and advocate for people with disabilities so that they too may be able to overcome adversity and create successful careers.
