Skincare brand SkinQ has announced the appointment of Meera Iyer as CEO and Co-founder. Iyer has over 17 years of leadership experience across domains like FMCG, consumer internet businesses, and verticals like sales, brand and marketing.
Prior to SkinQ, Meera served as the Business Unit Head for the RPSG Group (Dr Vaidya’s). She served as CMO and Business Head (OTC & Private Label, Offline Stores) for Medlife, and as CMO at Big Basket in past assignments. She also spent nine years at Unilever, last as the Regional Brand Manager for Dove and Pears.
SkinQ began operations in January 2022 and claims to offer product formulations customised for people with skin of colour. It offers 14 products specifically for treating common Indian skin problems like pigmentation, acne and sensitive skin. Its dounder Dr. Anand is a dermatologist and also the founder of Kosmoderma Clinics.
Dr. Chytra V Anand, Founder, SkinQ, said, “I am thrilled to welcome Meera Iyer as our new CEO and Co-founder. Her exceptional leadership abilities and deep understanding of the consumer internet market, particularly FMCG and personal care products, make her the perfect candidate to lead SkinQ’s growth phase. We both share a vision of providing holistic and effective skincare solutions specifically designed for people with skin of colour. Meera’s expertise will undoubtedly expedite SkinQ’s journey towards a leadership position in the dermo cosmetic industry.”
Meera added, “It’s a great honour for me to step into the role of CEO and Co-founder at SkinQ. Dr. Chytra V Anand’s trailblazing commitment to creating high-quality, dermatologist-formulated skincare solutions is truly inspiring. Recognising that ‘Skin of Colour’ represents over two-thirds of the world population, yet current products are often formulated for Caucasian skin, Korean skin presents a unique opportunity for us. I am excited to steer SkinQ in addressing this gap, offering expert-created formulations that are truly attuned to the needs of our target market”.
