D. Bello Associates (DBA) announced a business relationship with a new offshore service provider. DBA said it will continue to offer its clients a wide array of outsourcing options through highly experienced providers.
Company Founder and President Doug Bello, who had scheduled a retirement in 2012, has elected to return full time to the business. Bello said he is fully committed to offering his four decades of experience to this expansion and growth.
“This new direction is exciting — both for us and for our clients,” Bello said. “Our mission is to offer broader flexibility, continued high quality and lower prices to our clients, while at the same time retaining the service and industry expertise that we have offered for more than 20 years.”
DBA also announced the hiring of Andrew Acker as its operations manager. Acker comes from outside the industry and possesses a wide array of operational and process management skills. Acker holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Biola University and is a routine speaker to college students on topics of business and leadership.
“As we branch out and continue to build our network of suppliers, our operations will become more complex. Andrew’s skill set and proven track record with operational processes will be prolific for this company,” said Jeffrey Bates, chief operating officer and executive vice president. Acker will report to Bates in his new position.
D. Bello Associates is a privately held, independent outsource service provider. DBA offers title plant, search and exam, and general title consulting services to the industry. DBA has been serving the title industry since 1988.
