U.S. Bancorp has experienced a significant leadership change with the resignation of Jodi L. Richard, the company’s Vice Chair and Chief Risk Officer. Richard's departure, effective immediately, comes as she takes a position at another publicly traded company. This change is noteworthy as it may influence the bank's risk management strategies and overall stability.

Richard's resignation was confirmed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 29, 2026. Importantly, her exit was stated to be "not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices." This detail may reassure stakeholders about the continuity of U.S. Bancorp's strategic direction.

Troy W. Remington, currently serving as Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer, will step in as the interim Chief Risk Officer while U.S. Bancorp begins the search for a permanent replacement. The bank has not provided a timeline for this search, but the interim appointment indicates a proactive approach to maintaining leadership in its risk management division.
