Peter Dickinson

• 1 month, 3 weeks ago · Edited 1 month, 2 weeks ago

👋 Hi everyone, I’m Peter Dickinson — strategist and fractional Chief Commercial Officer (CCO).

I work with ambitious businesses to align their marketing and sales functions so they operate seamlessly as one commercial engine. By combining AI, automation, and practical strategy, I help eliminate the “leaky bucket” syndrome — ensuring marketing attracts the right Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), and sales converts them into profitable, long-term customers with strong lifetime value and efficient acquisition costs.

As founder of KUB Digital, we offer a fully managed fractional CMO service — you get a dedicated lead marketer embedded in your business, supported by a team of fractional specialists who cover everything from strategy to execution. Because our team is fractional too, you get access to the expertise you need, only when you need it — without the full-time cost.

I joined the Portfolio Collective to meet like-minded people who are building impactful, fo…

  Hi there Peter, nice to meet you. We’ve been invited to pitch for £100,000 in London and I’m wondering if anyone in your team would be a right fit to join us for this opportunity? Thanks

    Yes, we would love to help. If you could let me have your work email, I will introduce you to my daughter who runs my business and has supported such pitches for our clients. My email is peterdickinson@kub-uk.com which would work better as I am about to go on holiday – I do check my emails so that I don’t come back to a ton of them on my return. Charleh’s email is charlehknighton@Kub-uk.com and her diary is: https://calendly.com/charlehdickinson/30-discovery-call LinkedIn prof…

Hey folks 👋

I’ve been quietly working on something I wish I had during my own fundraising rounds.

It’s called RaiseDone — an AI-powered coach that helps early-stage founders get their pitch materials and data room investor-ready, without losing weeks (or sanity).

Right now, it helps you:

• Get personalized guidance on your pitch deck

• Structure your data room in minutes

• Actually feel like you’re making progress, not guessing

We’re just getting started and really want to build this with founders, not just for them.

If you’re open to trying it out and sharing feedback, I’d love to invite you to the platform: https://app.raisedone.com

Send me a DM and I’ll give you a promo code for 1 month of Pro access free 🙌

Appreciate any thoughts, feedback, or brutal honesty — and happy to return the favor on anything you’re working on.

Hi, everyone. I’m sharing here a coaching opportunity.

The CEO of a company I have invested in is looking for a leadership coach. His company is based in Belgium and is a small but fast-growing SaaS infrastructure business. See below how he describes the need. Please let me know if you or someone you know would be the right person to support him and his team.

”I am looking for someone who can help me develop my work and leadership style as a CEO and help me have more impact. And similar topics but mid/senior management level for my direct reports: communication, meeting management, leadership, etc. ”

  Hi Geoffroy – I’d love to help out. I run a leadership company and specialise in exactly this – leadership coaching and training. Take a look at my profile or website (www.mapandcompass.consulting). My background is military and police, and I used to work with NATO Special Forces in Mons, Belgium so I know the area well. Chat?

  Hi Geoffroy, thanks for sharing! Not sure if I’d be a fit for him but it sounds like working with his direct reports could be a good fit for the type of coaching that I do. I’m a Leadership Coach for new leaders and managers, especially those who are more on the introverted/quiet side and struggle with communication, executive presence and management. Happy to have a chat with the CEO about their needs (if he’s still looking ;))

Just joined today. Need to get around to finishing my profile. Thought I would just say hello. I’ve spent most of my career within media agencies (WPP/Publicis/Dentsu) , currently consulting at LEGO. I’ve been lucky enough to have lived and worked in Hong Kong & Miami and am a Strategist by day and a new Stand-Up comedian by night. Hi everyone!

Hello Everyone 🙂

The Future of Private Clubs

Hi there! Thank you for your time! I’m currently completing my final dissertation for a Master’s in Luxury Brand Strategy and Business. This research explores the future of private members’ clubs, particularly how evolving expectations around luxury, community, sport, and lifestyle are shaping new models of belonging. Whether or not you’ve ever been a member of a private club, your insights are incredibly valuable. I’m especially interested in understanding what today’s consumers want (or don’t want) from these spaces. The survey will take approximately 7–10 minutes to complete. - Participation is entirely voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time. - All responses are confidential and used solely for academic research. - No personal data will be published or shared outside the scope of this study. - All data will be anonymised in the final dissertation. Thank you again! Your input is deeply appreciated.
