Radnor’s Lincoln Financial Group has announced that Mark Konen will retire from his position as President of Insurance and Retirement Solutions.

Konen’s retirement will take effect February 28, 2017.

Most recently, Konen managed Lincoln Financial’s Individual Life Insurance, Group Protection, and Retirement Plan Services (RPS) businesses. Konen joined Lincoln Financial in 2006 as part of the company’s merger with Jefferson Pilot.

Prior to the merger, he spent 12 years with Jefferson Pilot in a range of roles that carried increasing responsibilities.

“I have greatly enjoyed my time at Lincoln, and I am proud of what we accomplished during my tenure,” Konen said. “While making the decision to retire was not easy, I step away with confidence that the company’s future is bright.”

“Mark has always been a trusted partner and a respected leader and, on behalf of the Board of Directors and all Lincoln Financial employees, I would like to thank him for his many years of dedicated service and countless contributions,” said Dennis R. Glass, President and CEO of Lincoln Financial Group.

“During his tenure, the life and annuity businesses realized record growth, achieved industry leadership, and became recognized for product innovation and responsiveness. Most recently, his management of our Group Protection and RPS businesses leaves us well-positioned to achieve our long-term goals.”
