To Pixar and Beyond

To Pixar and Beyond (2016) tells the story of how Lawrence Levy and Steve Jobs turned an unknown and struggling computer imaging company – Pixar – into an animation studio worth billions of dollars. Along the way, the company faced numerous internal and external challenges, tackling each with creative and strategic decisions that ultimately led to its success.

Lawrence Levy is a Harvard Law School graduate who started his career at Silicon Valley’s largest law firm, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. He later became an executive at Electronics for Imaging, a color desktop publishing start-up, and in 1994, he joined Pixar as its executive vice president and chief financial officer. In 2003, Levy cofounded Juniper Foundation, an organization that promotes traditional meditation practices for the modern world.
