USAA announced the appointment of Brian Goldman as its new Chief Risk Officer, effective May 27.

Brian joins USAA from Comerica Bank where he served as Chief Risk Officer. During his tenure, he led a 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, he held senior leadership roles at Goldman Sachs, where he managed risk and operations functions across the U.S. and Japan. Brian later joined Citibank, where he served in key roles in operational risk overseeing governance and control frameworks across multiple business lines.

His experience in risk management has equipped him to drive comprehensive risk strategies and programs across large, multifaceted institutions.

He is the right leader to enhance our risk management culture, which is essential to safeguarding our members’ financial well-being, driving sustainable economics and delivering lasting value to members.” – USAA President and CEO Juan C. Andrade.
