Bland Announces the Addition of Andy Rieck and the promotion of Diana Busche

We are excited to announce that Andy Rieck has joined Bland & Associates as our Director of Operations. This is an entirely new role at the firm, created to further support our ongoing growth and ensure that we continue to deliver excellence across all areas of our organization.

Andy brings with him a wealth of experience from his time in a much larger organization here in Omaha, where he worked in an environment managing over $2.2 billion in sales. His background in high-paced, large-scale operations will undoubtedly bring a fresh perspective and valuable expertise to Bland & Associates as we continue to grow.
In this role, Andy will work closely with department heads across the firm, ensuring that everyone is aligned and working within the same system. He’ll also be responsible for reporting key analytics to team members and partners, allowing for better collaboration and informed decision-making.

Reflecting on his journey to Bland, Andy shared, “I first met one of the senior partners at Bland back in 2004 while working for a client of theirs. Over the years, I’ve always wanted to be a part of Bland & Associates and help watch the firm grow. A few months ago, I reached out to one of the partners and after several conversations, the timing felt right. I’m thrilled to finally be part of the team.”

Andy is especially excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for Bland. “The firm has experienced significant growth over the last 12 to 24 months, and I’m eager to help build on that momentum. The people here, the collaboration, and the overall atmosphere are incredible. With this team, the sky truly is the limit.”

Please join us in welcoming Andy Rieck to Bland & Associates. We are confident that his leadership will help us reach new heights as we continue to grow and evolve as a firm.
