I’m Marie Uhart, a strategic marketing leader based in London with a proven track record of driving brand growth, team performance, and measurable business results. I’ve built and scaled integrated, data-driven go-to-market and performance marketing strategies across consumer and digital-first businesses, balancing brand building with acquisition efficiency. From leading Bumble to the #1 dating app position across key European markets, to delivering +125% revenue growth at Boden through e-commerce optimisation and international expansion, I’ve consistently translated insights into scalable campaigns. More recently, as a Fractional CMO for a seed-stage UK AI health tech startup, I’ve built the brand and growth engine from scratch—growing a 5,000+ waitlist ahead of launch—and I now support other companies as an independent fractional marketing lead while coaching MBA students at Cambridge Judge Business School.
