Ooni had rocket-like growth through the Pandemic and recently has shifted to managing the changing outdoor cooking landscape. While their growth has slowed, they’ve successfully reduced their debt and stabilized their company.

As part of that, they’ve changed their team at multiple levels. They had to right-size their overall workforce but have also evolved their executive team.

Their co-founders, Kristian Tapaninaho and Darina Garland, who held co-CEO titles moved to board roles, and they hired a new COO. They also have appointed two new board members, according to recent government filings.

They appointed Scott Maguire, the current President and COO of sportswear company On. He’s started with On in April of 2025 as their Chief Innovation Officer. On is a new brand to the sportwear category and has gone through tremendous growth to becoming a household name, and successfully having an IPO in 2021.

He also spent almost 19 years at another innovative company, Dyson. He started in engineering and worked his way through the ranks to the role of Chief Operating Officer.

The other board appointment was Ruth Chandler, a Board and Exec Advisor at travel company Skyscanner. She had leadership roles with Skyscanner dating back to 2013, saw them through their sale to Trip.com, and was their Chief People Officer prior to her current advisory role.

The new board composition will continue to guide Ooni through this next chapter of their business. They have continued to expand into adjacent categories and are well positioned for stable growth in the future, once the economy starts recovering.
