Deutsch won the business from independent Bernstein-Rein following a review that ended last October. Since then, USAA has parted with its president and CEO Bob Davis — replacing him with retired Army Major General Joe Robles last December — as well as CMO Dawn Johnson and svp, marketing Michael Grasso.
