Leadership
Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE: LNC) announced today that Elena
L. French, senior vice president, corporate marketing,
communications and brand, has been recognized by Profiles in
Diversity Journal on its 2021 “Women Worth Watching” list.
This prestigious award is given annually to women who exemplify
leadership, achievement and innovation. French was recognized for
her visionary leadership, particularly throughout the pandemic —
she strategically led the Corporate Communications team as they
adapted to new ways of working, while increasing communications,
promoting leadership visibility and fostering employee engagement
through an exceptionally challenging time. This work also
contributed to her recent promotion to Senior Vice President and
Head of Corporate Marketing, Communications, and Brand.
“Elena is a strategic and inspirational leader, focused on
building collaborative, high-performing teams, and I’m so glad to
see her leadership — particularly her leadership of the Corporate
Communications team during the pandemic — recognized with this
award,” said Jamie Ohl, president, workplace solutions, head of
operations and brand at Lincoln Financial Group. “Elena helped
Lincoln remain resilient and responsive to our employees, customers
and partners, and this recognition is a testament to the leadership
that she brings to our team, each and every day.”
French has more than 20 years of experience leading the
development and implementation of successful brand- and
business-driven strategic marketing and communication programs
within the financial services, health care and telecommunications
industries. At Lincoln Financial, she leads the company’s corporate
advertising, brand, consumer insights, communications, social media
and sponsorships initiatives. She is a graduate of The George
Washington University and holds a B.A. in Political Communications
and Journalism.
