Craig originally joined Goldman Sachs in 1985 and moved to London in 1986 as part of the firm’s expansion into Europe as their financial systems deregulated.  He remained in London for 13 years, ultimately heading the European Credit group. Craig returned to NY in 1999 as the firm’s Chief Credit Officer, and subsequently took on responsibility for overseeing market, operational, model and independent liquidity risk, as well as insurance. Craig was appointed CRO in 2008, and in this capacity helped to manage the firm through the Global Financial Crisis.  As part of the firm’s subsequent restructuring into a bank holding company, he was involved in overseeing a substantial development of risk systems as well as supporting the increase in regulatory scope including the roll-out of CCAR and Dodd-Frank. In his time as CRO, Craig was Chair or Co-Chair of the Firmwide Risk and Enterprise Risk committees, and participated in various capacities on the firm’s Suitability, Capital and Investment committees.
