OWNIT TESTIMONIALS

Laura Leigh Oyler
“The existence of OWNiT is its own testimonial to the women who have shaped my career and my life. The founders started as a group of intra-industry friends who gave each other advice, information, and support. We recognized the value of these interpersonal relationships to our respective careers, and we wanted to broaden our circle. The way OWNiT has grown in only two years tells me we have hit on a broader shared need.”

Lillian Ortega
“I learned about OWNiT in 2023 during my first speaking engagement at TMA (now known as ATNF) as a former FDA CTP employee. At the time, I was stepping into a new phase of my career, navigating opportunities outside of government and looking for a network where I could connect with like-minded professionals. OWNiT provided me a welcoming space where I could share ideas, explore professional growth, and collaborate with industry leaders (who just happen to be women) who are equally passionate about making an impact. Through book clubs, networking events, and professional development workshops focused on building your personal brand, OWNiT has been instrumental in helping me refine my career path. Two years later, I continue to be inspired by the incredible women in this group who support and empower each other every step of the way. If you are looking for a space to grow, share, and lead alongside strong, supportive women, I encourage you to join.”
