"Goldman Sachs: The Culture of Success tells the story of Wall Street's last major partnership through the prism of this culture—loyal, patient, rich, secretive and ultimately anachronistic. . . . Lisa Endlich, formerly a foreign exchange trader at Goldman, is right to focus on the culture, because everything the firm did right flowed from its ethos of teamwork and from its studied patience." —Roger Lowenstein, The Wall Street Journal
"As the first meaningful look inside one of Americas most important and least-known institutions, the book has the great virtue of being effectively a secret history."
—James Surowiecki, Newsday
LlSA Endlich holds master's degrees from mit in management and in urban planning, and was a vice president and foreign exchange trader for Goldman Sachs. She was raised in Los Angeles and lives in England with her husband and their three children.
