Introducing Mike Pietro & the Pando Agency

From the Desks of Amy Knobbe & Taylor Stormberg

At Pando, we've always believed that the best partnerships are built on trust, relationships, and helping our clients make confident decisions. As our clients continue to grow, we're committed to growing alongside them—adding new expertise while delivering the same level of care and service you've come to expect.

That's why we're excited to welcome Mike Pietro as Director of the Pando Agency.

With nearly 25 years of experience in employee benefits and health insurance, Mike brings deep industry knowledge and a relationship-first approach that aligns perfectly with the way we serve our clients. As an Omaha native, former Creighton baseball student-athlete, and seasoned benefits advisor, he's spent his career helping businesses and individuals navigate complex insurance decisions with confidence.

The Pando Agency expands how we support our clients by offering a full spectrum of employee benefits solutions—from our bundled PEO health plans to traditional group and individual insurance options. More importantly, it gives our clients the power to choose the solution that's right for their business, their employees, and their budget.

Employee benefits are often one of the largest investments a business makes each year. Having a trusted advisor who understands the market, compliance considerations, and your long-term goals can make all the difference. That's exactly what Mike brings to the table.

In the months ahead, Mike will be sharing practical insights and guidance as we approach open enrollment season. We can't wait for you to get to know him and experience the same relationship-driven service that defines everything we do at Pando.

Please join us in welcoming Mike to the team!

What Is the Pando Agency?

The Pando Agency gives businesses more flexibility in how they approach employee benefits. While Pando PEO clients can access bundled health and benefits options through the PEO, not every company has the same needs, workforce, or budget.

Through the Pando Agency, businesses can explore traditional group health insurance and other employee benefit options alongside Pando’s PEO solutions. The goal isn’t to push a business toward one model—it’s to help employers understand their options and choose what makes the most sense for their people and their business.

What Can You Expect From Mike and the Pando Agency?

Mike and our team will work with you to understand your workforce, current benefits, budget, and goals before recommending a path forward. That includes helping employers understand their options, prepare for renewals and open enrollment, and make sense of an insurance market that can often feel unnecessarily complicated.
