Madison Reed has named Jose Zuniga as Chief Financial Officer—as the hair color company sets its sights on growth. 

Zuniga will drive Madison Reed’s “Rapid Hair Color Bar” business and omnichannel expansion, the company said. 

Zuniga brings with him a wealth of retail and technology experience. He served as CFO at Dollar Shave Club, and has had roles at Google, Yahoo! and Overture.

During his seven year tenure at Dollar Shave Club, Zuniga led the company through its most transformative stages, including its $1 billion acquisition by Unilever and its omnichannel expansion.

Amy Errett, CEO and Founder of Madison Reed, says, “Not only does his unbelievably unique experience and vision meet the future of Madison Reed as our business expands, but it is also the unmatched passion, heart and soul that he brings to our company.”

Errett adds, “This is a full circle moment – as a past venture capitalist, companies like Dollar Shave Club sparked my obsession with revolutionizing a CPG category and we found that opportunity in hair color, an equivalent gap in beauty for women. I know with Jose we are in great hands and that we will surpass our business goals while upholding our unique and important values.” 

Reporting to Errett, Zuniga will lead Madison Reed’s financial functions, data and analytics and help scale its footprint and growth operations.  

Zuniga says, “It was Madison Reed’s soul and culture that sold me on this opportunity. Amy is a fantastic founder who truly views her people as the company’s most valuable assets – I’m honored to join this team.”

Madison Reed says it is experiencing tremendous growth this year as its “Rapid Hair Color Bar” business expands. The company plans to end 2022 with 80+ locations nationwide, while  adding to its color, care and maintenance product portfolio through new innovations.

All Madison Reed products, such as its new Color Therapy Hair Conditioning Mask shown above, are “Smart 8-Free” and Leaping Bunny Certified.
