SV019: From Zero to $5 Billion in Sales The History of Juniper Networks and 1440 Multiversity with Scott Kriens

On today’s show, we have Scott Kriens, chairman and former CEO of Juniper Networks, who has been in the technology industry for more than 35 years. In 1996, he co-founded Juniper Networks, growing the company to $4 billion in global sales and more than 10,000 employees in 100+ countries. In 2010, Scott and his wife Joanie launched 1440 Foundation, an organization committed to the cultivation of truly real and connected relationships, with self and others, as a basis for living well. The work of the foundation led Scott and Joanie to launch 1440 Multiversity, a 21st century learning destination in the California redwoods of Santa Cruz County. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: What was it like to go through the dot.com bubble? What were the events that led up to Scott winning the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of The Year award? How did Silicon Valley Change over the years, from 1986 to when Scott left Juniper Networks in 2008? What is 1440 Multiversity?
