Environmental Entrepreneurs:

Mark Bauhaus is a 30 year technology industry veteran and sustainability innovator. He is a general partner with Just Business, which incubates startups at the intersection of Purpose and Profit. Mr. Bauhaus is also a senior advisor to the board of Joint Venture Silicon Valley and an American Leadership Forum Senior Fellow.

For 7 years at Juniper Networks, Mr. Bauhaus had roles including Executive Vice President and General Manager for its $1B revenue Layer 4-7 and Security Products, its $1 billion revenue Services and Support business, and the company’s $5 billion Supply Chain. Previously at Sun Microsystems, he served 20 years in various roles including Senior Vice President of Service-Oriented Architecture Software, Enterprise Software, Identity Management and Java Web Services product groups. He began his career at Hewlett-Packard.

Mr. Bauhaus joined E2 in 2007 to join with fellow entrepreneurs in calling for multi-decade market signals to shift our economy to a sustainable, carbon-neutral basis. He sees this as the biggest economic growth opportunity this side of the Internet, or perhaps the shift to oil a century ago.

His dedication to a sustainable energy economy started with his handcrafted Bachelor of Science degree in “Business Management and Environmental Systems Analysis”, which he earned with high honors from the University of California at Davis. It continues today in his work and his play, as he also bikes and hikes and enjoys the outdoors with his wife and daughters in California and worldwide.

“Smart renewable energy is the ultimate multi-partisan revolution that’s good for our economy, national security, jobs, new entrepreneurs, quality of life, natural systems and even the reduction of funds to terrorists. Our future is vastly brighter when we open the gates to innovation and market adoption for this new sustainable economy world.”
