To Pixar and Beyond

byLawrence Levy

Lawrence Levy recounts his transformation from Silicon Valley executive to the chief financial officer who helped turn Pixar into a successful public company. When Steve Jobs recruited him, the studio possessed extraordinary creative talent but an uncertain business model and a difficult relationship with Disney. Levy describes the strategy, negotiations, financing, and trust required to build a durable enterprise without smothering its artistic culture. The book offers an insider's view of Pixar's landmark films and corporate turning points while exploring a broader question: how can leaders reconcile financial discipline with the unpredictable process of creative excellence?
