Uma Subramanian
Maarge was founded by Uma Subramanian, a two-time breast cancer survivor, caregiver, and longtime enterprise technology leader. Over two decades at IBM, spanning software engineering, solution architecture, cloud technology, and automation, taught her what reliable systems look like under real complexity.
She learned what it took to build one the hard way. Navigating her own cancer care while coordinating specialists, medications, and symptom tracking, Uma felt the burden of managing it all through spreadsheets and scattered updates. The tool she needed didn't exist, so she built it.
Today, Uma leads Maarge on a simple belief: care should never depend on one person's memory or a family's ability to manage the chaos around it. Maarge replaces reactive crisis management with coordinated, confident, and compassionate care.

Uma Subramanian is the visionary behind Maarge, where she leads the mission, strategy, and day-to-day operations. Drawing on deep experience in integrating technologies and leading product development at Sybase (SAP), CrossWorlds, and IBM, Uma brings a human-centered, problem-solving approach to health and caregiving.
Her own journeys—both as a caregiver (remote and in person) and as a person managing health challenges—sparked the idea for Maarge. She recognized how fragmented tools, data silos, and lack of coordination create undue burdens on caregivers and their loved ones. Her goal is to build intuitive, accessible solutions that ease the emotional and operational load of caregiving and self-care.
