On May 14, San Antonio-based USAA announced the appointment of Brian Goldman as its new chief risk officer, effective May 27. With nearly three decades of experience in the global financial services industry, he brings a proven track record of building and strengthening risk functions in large, complex organizations to achieve strategic goals.
Goldman joins USAA from Comerica Bank, for which he served as chief risk officer. During his tenure, he led a comprehensive transformation of the bank’s risk function, enhancing regulatory relationships and advancing the company’s risk culture. He also played a key role in aligning risk strategy with business objectives.
Prior to Comerica, Goldman held senior leadership roles at Goldman Sachs, managing risk and operations functions across the U.S. and Japan. He later joined Citibank, for which he served in key roles in operational risk, overseeing governance and control frameworks across multiple business lines.
“Brian’s extensive expertise and leadership in risk management will be a tremendous asset as we strengthen our capabilities and continue to deliver on our mission,” says Juan C. Andrade, president and CEO. “He is the right leader to enhance our risk management culture.”
Goldman, a graduate of Rutgers University, has a personal connection to the military community. His grandfather served in the U.S. Army under Gen. Patton during World War II. This heritage has instilled in him a deep appreciation for the values and sacrifices of military families.
Established in 1922 by a group of military officers, USAA has offices in eight U.S. cities and three overseas locations and employs more than 38,000 people worldwide.
