As president and CEO, Cooper will lead the company in building
on more than a century of helping people gain financial security –
for today and tomorrow. Through its core businesses – life
insurance, annuities, group protection and retirement plan services
– and its leading distribution channels, Lincoln empowers more than
16 million customers to take charge of their financial lives with
confidence and optimism.
Cooper will serve as the first woman and the tenth president and
CEO for Lincoln. She succeeds Dennis R. Glass, who served as
president and CEO for 15 years. Glass now serves as chairman of the
board.
“I am excited to lead this incredible company, which has a long
and successful track record of providing strong results to
shareholders while delivering significant value to the customers
who depend on us every day,” said Cooper. “Harnessing the power of
our superior product manufacturing and distribution capabilities,
combined with our strong culture centered on longstanding
relationships and highly talented people, we will continue to
deliver trusted solutions for millions of Americans seeking
financial security and protection for themselves and the people
they care about most.”
During Cooper’s tenure at Lincoln, she has been instrumental in
developing and executing on the company’s general and separate
account investment strategy, overseeing more than $300 billion in
assets and managing the company’s industry-leading hedge program.
After joining as Chief Investment Officer in 2012, her leadership
role was expanded to include responsibility for Lincoln’s
enterprise risk management function and for the company’s
market-leading Annuity Solutions business.
“Ellen and I have served side by side for the last 10 years, and
she is one of the most strategic and capable executives I’ve had
the privilege of knowing,” said Glass. “She has an exceptional
depth of expertise and passion for Lincoln, its mission and its
people, along with a focus on the future and delivering ongoing
value to our shareholders. I’m excited to see all that Lincoln will
accomplish under Ellen’s leadership, and I look forward to working
with her in my new capacity as chairman of the board.”
"I’m delighted to officially welcome Ellen to her new role as
Lincoln’s CEO,” said William Cunningham, former chairman and
current lead independent director of the Lincoln board. “Ellen has
played a significant role over the last 10 years building and
executing on Lincoln’s successful strategy, and I am confident she
will continue to steward the company’s special culture while
encouraging the kind of innovation that will allow Lincoln to grow
and thrive for decades to come.”
