Goldman joins USAA from Comerica Bank, where he served as Chief Risk Officer. During his tenure, he led a significant transformation of the bank’s risk function, strengthening regulatory relationships and embedding a robust risk culture throughout the organization. He also played a critical role in aligning risk strategy with the bank’s broader business objectives.
Before his time at Comerica, Goldman held senior leadership positions at Goldman Sachs, overseeing risk and operations functions in both the U.S. and Japan. He later joined Citibank, where he managed operational risk and governance frameworks across multiple business lines.
With a career spanning top financial institutions, Goldman brings deep expertise in risk management and a proven track record of driving comprehensive risk strategies within complex organizations.
“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,” said USAA President and CEO Juan C. Andrade. “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.”
A graduate of Rutgers University, Goldman also has a personal connection to the military community — his grandfather served in the U.S. Army under General George S. Patton during World War II. That legacy, he says, has instilled in him a deep appreciation for the values and sacrifices of military families.
USAA, a leading provider of insurance, banking, and investment services for the military community and their families, emphasized that Goldman’s appointment reflects its continued commitment to strong risk oversight and long-term member value.
