Just to add how to easily get the list of Groups for which a particular user is Owner:
Get-Recipient -Filter "ManagedBy -eq 'CN=user,OU=domain.onmicrosoft.com,OU=Microsoft Exchange Hosted Organizations,DC=EURPR03A001,DC=prod,DC=outlook,DC=com'" -RecipientTypeDetails GroupMailbox
where the long string in the Filter value is the DN (distinguished name) attribute of the user.
Most might not like to type in a distinguished name. To make this easier, extract the DN for a mailbox to a varible and use that in the filter.
$Dn = (Get-Mailbox -Id TRedmond).DistinguishedName
Get-Recipient -Filter "ManagedBy -eq '$DN'" -RecipientTypeDetails GroupMailbox
Unless of course you really like typing in long and complex strings...
