Sandy Lerner
Alma materCalifornia State University, Chico
Claremont Graduate School
Stanford University
Known forCo-Founder of Cisco Systems
Co-Founder of Urban Decay
SpouseLeonard Bosack (divorced)

Sandy Lerner (born 1955) is an American businesswoman and philanthropist. She co-founded Cisco Systems, and used the money from its sale to pursue interests in animal welfare and women's writing. One of her main projects, Chawton House, is in England, but most of her work remains in the United States.

Early life and education

Lerner is a northern northern California native and grew up on a farm.[1] She received her bachelor's degree in 1975 in international relations from California State University, Chico, a master's degree in econometrics in 1977 from the Claremont Graduate School, and a master's degree in statistics and computer science in 1981 from Stanford University.[2]

Cisco

In 1984, while working as director of computer facilities for the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, Lerner co-founded Cisco Systems with her partner and now former husband Len Bosack.[3][4] Lerner and Bosack worked with Stanford students and faculty on a project to better connect all of the school's computer systems.[4] They later adapted software used at Standford into what would become the foundation for Cisco IOS.[4]

Lerner and Bosack brought in John Morgridge to be the third CEO of Cisco in 1988. On August 28, 1990, Lerner was fired; upon hearing the news, Bosack resigned in solidarity.[5] The two sold all of their stock for $170 million[1] and retired from Cisco. Lerner and Bosask divorced in the early 1990s.[6]

Other business projects

In 1996, Lerner purchased Ayrshire Farm, an 600-acre (2.4 km2) estate in Upperville Virginia.[7] The circa-1912, 42-room Edwardian mansion of native fieldstone has since been restored and was used for a variety of social functions under Lerner's direction.[8] Ayrshire Farm's mission has been to farm sustainably and profitably, promoting the benefits of locally produced, humanely-raised meats and organic produce to the consumer, the community, and children through education, outreach and example. The farm was the first in Virginia to meet both Certified Humane and Certified Organic standards.[7]

Lerner placed a portion of her stock earnings into a start-up venture capital limited partnership called "& Capital Partners."[citation needed] One of the companies it funded was Urban Decay Cosmetics, with the tag line "does pink make you puke?"[9][10] In February 2000, Moet-Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH), the French luxury goods conglomerate, acquired the firm.[11] It was spun off from LVMH in December 2002. [citation needed]

Lerner has also owned the Hunter's Head Tavern in Upperville, Virginia.[12]

Artistic projects and philanthropy

For many years Lerner directed her philanthropy towards Chawton House and its specialist library and study centre. In 1992, through the foundation she shares with Leonard Bosack, she invested money into the restoration of this Hampshire manor house once owned by Jane Austen's brother, Edward Austen Knight. In 2003 it opened as the Centre for the Study of Early Women's Writing, 1600-1830. The Chawton House Library has a collection of over 9,000 books, mainly related to the literary genre of women's writing, and original manuscripts. The Library works in partnership with the University of Southampton, and provides an important resource for the university's MA in 18th Century Study.[13] In 2016 Lerner resigned from the board of trustees and withdrew the financial support of her foundation.[14]

In November 2011, Lerner published a sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice titled Second Impressions using the pen name of Ava Farmer (for "a Virginia farmer"); she plans to make it into a movie.[15] In August 2017, Lerner released Caticons,[16] a book of art imitating cats.

Awards and recognition

Lerner was awarded an honorary degree in 2005 from Southampton University[17] and a Doctor of Sciences in 2012 from California State University, Chico.[18]

In 2009, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computer Society honored Sandra Lerner and Leonard Bosack with its Computer Entrepreneur Award "for founding Cisco Systems and pioneering and advancing the commercialization of routing technology and the profound changes this technology enabled in the computer industry."[19] In 2014 Lerner was presented with the Technology Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Pioneer award at the United Nations.[20]

Lerner was featured in the documentary film Something Ventured (2011). She was also featured in part 2 of the PBS documentary Nerds 2.0.1.

In November 2014, Lerner was presented with the distinguished Pioneer Award for her work in the Technology field by Women's Entrepreneurship Day and the United Nations.[21]

In 2015, Lerner was presented with an honorary OBE by the Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire, Nigel Atkinson, for her contributions to UK culture. She received special permission to hold the ceremony at Chawton House.[22]
