Corey Rich is the total package.  He’s a problem solver, attentive to detail, resourceful, and resilient - while also being enthusiastic, positive, proactive, and having high emotional intelligence. Having managed global teams for nearly two decades at a multi-billion dollar software company, he now puts his skills to work on a local level.  Born and raised in the midwest, he cares tremendously about helping communities thrive. His networks run deep and wide because he makes it a priority to build strong relationships anywhere he goes, be it in the corporate world or in the gas station parking lot. The key traits he utilized to grow exceptional teams in the software industry are the same traits that enable him to build strong relationships with his clients and colleagues - such as guidance, support, trust, understanding, urgency, and deep care for people as individuals.

Corey has served the Bolivar community in multiple capacities including Citizens Memorial Hospital Board, Industrial Development Authority Board, Friends of Bolivar Parks Board, and also as Chamber of Commerce President.

He and his wife Bess live in Bolivar with their two boys. As a family, they enjoy fishing, movies, & games together. Corey also loves golfing with friends, working in the yard, and tackling landscaping projects. He's an avid sports fan, especially when it comes to the Chiefs and the Mizzou Tigers - but if you really want to witness his enthusiasm, watch him root on the local Bolivar Liberators.  This guy is good as gold and embodies the same core values as Stellar. He couldn’t be a more natural fit on this team.
