About Me

Fatih Ozmen is CEO and co-owner of private defense and aerospace 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. Ozmen emigrated from Turkey in the 1980s to pursue a master's degree in engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. He and his wife, Eren, bought SNC in 1994 when it had just 20 employees; it now has nearly 4,000 employees in over 40 locations.
