Human Resource Executive, a business magazine, has named Lisa Buckingham – the executive vice president and chief human resources officer at the Radnor-based Lincoln Financial Group – its 2017 HR Executive of the Year.

“The HR Executive of the Year award recognizes human resource leaders who have made outstanding contributions to their organizations and who exemplify the increasingly strategic role of HR in business today,” said David Shadovitz, editor and co-publisher of Human Resource Executive.

Buckingham has led the design and implementation of a wide variety of HR-related programs and initiatives that include advancing Lincoln Financial’s diversity and inclusion efforts, improving its talent management and succession-planning processes, and developing a fully revamped career framework.

Buckingham is also playing an instrumental role in creating a digital experience for the company’s customers, both internal and external, that is similar to “born-digital” companies such as Amazon and Uber.
