Chris Cathcart

A Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing and former Google leader, I am a transformative CMO with 27 years of experience scaling global brands and PE-backed ventures. I specialise in converting complex commercial goals into high-impact digital strategies, having managed $130M+ annual P&Ls and delivered consistent double-digit growth for major EMEA clients. My track record includes securing £5M in PE funding and orchestrating a 5-year business plan to reach £2M EBITDA, demonstrating the board-level gravitas required to align marketing rigour with investor exit strategies. I excel at building high-performance, multidisciplinary teams and lead-generation engines that accelerate customer acquisition and lifetime value. From driving a 175% revenue surge in nine months to spearheading digital transformations for legacy institutions, I deliver the "metrics that matter" to ensure portfolio companies outpace the market. I offer the strategic depth to design a vision and the operational grit to execute it, making me a high-value partner for PE houses seeking to de-risk and accelerate their growth investments
