Routers and Blue Lipsticks: The Many Lives of Sandy Lerner with Maria Stylianou

Send us Fan Mail

Joining Elena as the permanent co-host of Breaking the 20% is none other than Maria Stylianou! Maria and Elena start their new partnership by diving into the unapologetically bold life of Sandy Lerner, who co-founded Cisco Systems, invented the multiprotocol router, and revolutionized computer networking—only to be unceremoniously booted from her own company post-IPO by a board that couldn’t handle her outspoken style. Instead of sulking, Lerner went on to punk up the beauty industry with Urban Decay, save historic landmarks, and run a sustainable farm, all while sticking it to anyone who told her she couldn’t.
