About Paul Waldeier

Today, I’m focused on expanding our direct-to-RIA platform, building strategic partnerships, and delivering customized solutions that meet the evolving needs of independent advisors.Lincoln is deeply committed to the RIA channel, investing in organizational capabilities that make annuity planning more accessible and scalable. From dedicated RIA-focused teams to enhanced digital integration and advisor-centric platforms, we’re helping firms deliver better client outcomes with efficiency and confidence.With 20+ years in financial services, I bring a collaborative leadership style, a passion for education, and a deep understanding of advisor behavior and distribution strategy. I hold a BS from Lehigh University, an MBA from Temple University, and several professional designations including CFP®, ChFC®, and CFS®.Outside of work, I’m an advocate for financial literacy and enjoy mentoring emerging leaders in the industry.Let’s connect if you’re passionate about transforming the advisor experience or exploring how Lincoln can support your practice.
