Marie Hélène
Marie Hélène is a French expat, brand strategist, and founder of Black Sheep Kollective — originally from Corsica, now based in Pune. A self-described intuitive, nomadic mover, she lived across New York, Amsterdam, Vienna, and Budapest before landing in India, where she chose to stay after the 2020 lockdown found her at a yoga retreat in Rishikesh.
After starting out inside names like Renault, KLM, and Tommy Hilfiger, Marie built an independent, remote career long before it went mainstream. Through Black Sheep Kollective, she helps companies rebrand and take their story global — human-centric, story-driven, and unafraid to be bold. A dedicated yoga practitioner with over 1,800 hours of training, she credits that discipline for the focus behind her work. Her story spans cultural adaptation, purpose-driven marketing, and the belief that wellness and high performance belong together.
