Eren Ozmen

Eren Ozmen came to the United States from Turkey to pursue higher education in the United States. She arrived with limited English skills and scant finances. With a strong vision of the future, Eren and her husband Fatih Ozmen acquired Sierra Nevada Corporation in 1994. As a direct result of their strategic planning efforts, they proceeded to successfully acquire 19 additional electronics firms. SNC now operates in many diverse fields including Human Space Flight, Nanotechnology, Cyber, Net-Centric Operations, Microsatellites, Energy, and Telemedicine. With the Ozmen’s at helm, SNC has grown into the Top Woman-Owned Federal Contractor in the United States.
