Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE:LNC) today announced that Jamie Ohl has resigned from Lincoln effective immediately. Richard "Dick" Mucci, former president of the company's Group Protection business until his retirement in 2019, is returning to Lincoln to lead both the Group Protection and Retirement Plan Services businesses on a temporary basis until we complete an internal and external search and a new leader is in place. He will report to CEO-Elect Ellen Cooper and work closely with the business leadership teams.

"The Group Protection and Retirement Plan Services businesses are led by strong teams and sound strategies, and with Dick's decades of industry experience and deep knowledge of Lincoln's businesses, we are confident they will continue to drive growth while we identify a permanent leader," Cooper said. "We are committed to continuing to provide industry leading service to our clients and their employees during this time of transition."
