Ooni Appoints its First CEO – Founders Move Focus to Product, Community

Ooni is making a big change to the next chapter of its life. The founders, husband-and-wife team Kristian Tapaninaho and Darina Garland who are the current co-CEOs, are moving to new active founder and board roles.

They’ve appointed a non-founder CEO for the first time in the company’s history. Karthik Iyer will assume the role, moving over from being a strategic advisor to the Ooni Board. He brings over 20 years of experience at e-commerce and consumer tech brands including leadership roles at Dell and Dyson.
