Critics Review
A sharp insider’s guide to the era of when the financial industry spun out of control before nearly collapsing, then getting larger than ever … As much as a Wall Street story, it is a wider narrative of culture and leadership: an explanation of how Goldman became such a powerful force by blending individual ambitions with collective purpose – John Gapper * Financial Times *
A pacy, often wry account … Anyone with corporate ambition and an interest in recent financial history should read this book – Lionel Barber * The Spectator *
Lloyd Blankfein is scary smart about people, markets, and life generally. His 10,000 Small Businesses idea proved to be a huge winner, and I personally witnessed the time and effort he devoted to its success. During the 2008-2009 financial crisis, Lloyd acted decisively, and he tells the story of what happened with unique insights. – Warren Buffett
Lloyd Blankfein has always been a straight shooter, but his journey from public housing to the heights of Wall Street wasn’t a straight line. Streetwise is packed with important lessons about leadership, risk-taking, decision-making, and giving back. – Michael Bloomberg
Lloyd Blankfein
Lloyd Craig Blankfein is an American investment banker who has served as senior chairman of Goldman Sachs since 2019, and chairman and chief executive from 2006 until the end of 2018. Before leading Goldman Sachs, he was the company’s president and chief operating officer (COO) from 2004 to 2006, serving under then-CEO Henry Paulson.
Born and raised in New York City, Blankfein attended Harvard University for his undergraduate and law school studies before briefly entering private law practice. After leading Goldman’s currency and commodities divisions from 1994 to 1997 he served as the president and chief operating officer from 2004 to his ascension to chief executive. Almost immediately after Blankfein assumed the head of the company, the financial crisis of 2007-08 hit the banking industry.
Blankfein was twice named one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine and won the Financial Times Person of the Year award in 2009.
