Lincoln Financial Names Lyday Head of Institutional Retirement Solutions Distribution

Jim Lyday has joined Lincoln Financial Distributors (LFD), the wholesale distribution subsidiary of Lincoln Financial Group, as head of Institutional Retirement Solutions Distribution. Effective immediately, Lyday will report directly to Will Fuller, president and CEO of LFD, and will be responsible for leading the growth strategies for the distribution of Lincoln's Defined Contribution business in the full-service, mid- to large-employer retirement plan market.
