Riegsecker, who brings more than three decades of industry experience, will be splitting her time between the firm’s Chicago headquarters and the greater Peoria, Illinois area.

“Andrea is an integral member of our team and she has always demonstrated a strong propensity for business development,” said Neil Freeman, Chairman and CEO of Aries Capital. “Her ability to reach out locally and connect with contacts and resources in the greater Peoria region will be a great benefit to both our firm and our clients.”
