Ganni's Copenhagen-cool image is real, but the label has been majority-owned by private equity firm L Catterton since 2017, which has been shopping the stake to new buyers since 2022. Co-founder Ditte Reffstrup still leads design as creative director; co-founder Nicolaj Reffstrup now focuses on sustainability strategy, not day-to-day operations.

The Big Picture

Mixed Picture

Private equity firm L Catterton has held a majority stake in Ganni since 2017 and has been trying to sell it since 2022; professional CEOs have cycled through three times since co-founder Nicolaj Reffstrup stepped down in 2018, most recently to an interim chief in April 2026. Co-founder Ditte Reffstrup still leads design as creative director. Glassdoor reviewers rate pay and culture at 2.4 out of 5. Ganni answers to whichever private equity buyer L Catterton lines up next.
