RADNOR, PA — Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE: LNC) has expanded the role of longtime executive John Muething, naming him Vice President, Financial Planning and Analysis, and Head of Investor Relations. The company said the move is designed to tighten alignment between its financial planning priorities and its communication with the investment community.
Muething, who has been with Lincoln for more than 17 years, will continue overseeing the firm’s FP&A function while now taking charge of investor relations strategy. He will remain reporting to Chief Financial Officer Chris Neczypor.
Lincoln said the combined responsibilities reflect Muething’s broad financial expertise and his deep familiarity with the company’s operations and long-term strategy. The dual role is intended to strengthen the firm’s external messaging and reinforce the financial frameworks guiding its strategic initiatives.
“John’s extensive knowledge of our business and proven financial acumen make him exceptionally well-suited to lead our Investor Relations function,” Neczypor said. He noted that Muething has already been active in engaging investors and analysts and will play a key role in shaping the company’s communications going forward.
Scott West, currently a vice president, will continue handling day-to-day investor relations activities and will report to Muething as part of the updated structure.
The leadership change follows the departure of former IR head Tina Madon, who left to pursue another opportunity. Lincoln thanked her for her contributions and wished her success in her next role.
