Meroda Cosmetics
The team behind a breakout beauty brand.
15+ roles placed for a CrossBorder Top 30 breakout
A brand named after the people who made it.
Meroda Cosmetics is the fast-scaling Dutch beauty brand behind the color-changing 'Changing Foundation' — founded in 2021 by Melvin van Bueren, who named it after himself and his parents (Me·Ro·Da: Melvin, Roel, Danielle). As it grew from a single hero product into a category name, it needed a team to match the ambition.
Hyper-growth needs a whole team, fast.
A brand scaling this quickly can't hire one leader at a time. Meroda needed finance, growth and a full creative engine — the people to turn a viral product into a durable company — sourced fast and matched to a fast, founder-led culture.
Fifteen-plus hires, from CFO to TikTok Shop Manager.
The Quantum Club built the team end to end — a CFO and a Head of Growth to steer the numbers and the scale, and a full creative bench: creative strategists, social media managers, an Art Director, a TikTok Shop Manager and more. Over fifteen roles, each matched to Meroda's pace and DNA.
The team behind the breakout.
Named the fastest international grower in the 2025 CrossBorder Top 30, Meroda is one of the Netherlands' standout beauty stories. The Quantum Club built the bench that made the scale possible — proof that we don't just fill a seat, we assemble the whole room.
