Overview

A smart, fast-paced, and entertaining read about how trust, vision, and partnership built something extraordinary. Whether you're into leadership, financial markets, or just a gripping business story, Bluebook delivers insight and inspiration in equal measure. At its heart is the Refinitiv deal, one of the most significant carve-outs in recent business history. Valued at $20 billion, Thomson Reuters Financial & Risk division was spun out, transformed, and ultimately sold to the London Stock Exchange Group for $27 billion just three years later. Led by CEO David Craig and backed by private equity giant Blackstone, this was more than a deal; it was a bold reinvention. It's a story of how data, leadership, and long-term vision created $7 billion in new value. In a world where information moves faster than certainty, Bluebook demonstrates what happens when clarity cuts through the noise. From corporate brinkmanship to cultural transformation, from brand rebirth to operational overhaul, this is the behind-the-scenes story of navigating complexity and driving impact. Part memoir, part masterclass, Bluebook is essential reading for anyone who's ever led change, survived a spinout, or wondered how great businesses are built.
