Goldman has had numerous risk management roles at both Goldman Sachs and Citibank, most recently serving as head of operational risk for the institutional clients group and Citibank NA, the primary U.S. banking subsidiary of Citigroup. Goldman spent 23 of his 26 years at Goldman Sachs in leadership roles.
