Krolicki is a graduate of Stanford University, where he graduated in 1983 with a degree in Political Science.

Preceding his election as State Treasurer, Krolicki worked for Bankers Trust in New York City, and Smith Barney in San Fransisco and Manama, Bahrain.
Public Life
State Treasurer
Krolicki was elected State Treasurer in 1998. During his tenure, Krolicki worked to make college education more affordable, and considered it "a cornerstone of his administration." He created the State Treasurer’s College Savings Plan and Nevada’s Prepaid College Tuition Program[1], and oversaw the set-up of the Gates Scholarship in Nevada.[2]
Along his work in higher-education accessibility, Krolicki obtained upgrades from credit-rating agencies for Nevada, saving taxpayers millions of dollars in interest payments. All rating agencies now consider Nevada just a notch below AAA, the highest and most coveted rating, and held by very few states. Krolicki was also the first State Treasurer in the United States to receive the coveted Certificate of Excellence in Investment Policy from the Association of Public Treasurers of the United States and Canada. Krolicki also formulated and implemented many investment programs that obtained tens of millions of dollars in revenue for the state.
On the national level, in 2002, Brian was unanimously elected by his peers to serve as president of the National Association of State Treasurers (NAST), which collectively represents over $1 trillion in assets. As president, he founded the NAST Committee on Corporate Governance and served as chairman of the NAST Foundation, which promotes financial literacy and education throughout the nation. He has worked hard to promote financial literacy in Nevada by introducing the Nevada Women’s Money Conference, a free event designed to provide the necessary tools and information to become financially educated. In May 2004, Brian was selected by his state treasurer colleagues to receive the Unruh Award, given to the nation’s most outstanding state treasurer. Most recently, in December 2004, Brian was again honored by his national peers in both the private and public sectors with the highly regarded Gritz Award for Excellence in Public Finance in recognition of his leadership and innovation in the area of public debt management.
On December 3, 2008, Krolicki was indicted on four felony counts. The charges are related to Krolicki's management of a multibillion-dollar college savings program in his previous position as Nevada's state treasurer. Two of the counts were of misappropriation and falsification of accounts by a public officer, and two counts were of misappropriation by a treasurer. He faces up to four years in prison on each of the four counts for a maximum of sixteen years. Krolicki says that there is no basis for the charges and that it is a partisan effort by Democratic Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto and US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid who Krolicki is planning to run against in the 2010 midterm elections.[3]
