About Me

Eren Ozmen is chairwoman, president and majority owner of private aerospace and defense company Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC). In April 2024, SNC won a $13.1 billion contract from the U.S. Air Force to develop its next E-4 "Doomsday" plane, which would run the military's response to a nuclear war. In April 2021, SNC spun off its space capabilities into a new commercial space company, Sierra Space. Sierra Space, which raised $290 million at a $5.3 billion valuation in September 2023, is set to launch its first flight of a cargo spaceplane called Dream Chaser in 2025. Ozmen and her husband Fatih, both Turkish immigrants, bought SNC in 1994 when it had just 20 employees.
