Scott Kriens, chairman and former CEO of Juniper Networks, 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, a grant making
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.
At his core, Scott is a learner and a builder, committed to finding new ways to tie
the world around us to that which is real and powerful within us – whether for
the purpose of building teams as a leader in the tech industry or simply as an
advocate for the path to living lives of true resonance. Moving beyond having
more or suffering less, 1440 helps people and groups interested in finding their
own unique connection to meaning.

“I think the growing call in the world today for connection, meaning, and making a
difference, all indicate that there is an unmet need in many of us. The true mark
of 1440’s success will be that we can offer a welcoming and inspiring place to
serve the loud need for quiet time, and invite each person to find their own
answers to the questions that matter most.”
