Eric Dickmann

Eric Dickmann is a former corporate executive who built a successful second chapter as an entrepreneur, fractional CMO, and podcast host. After years of leading marketing, product, and growth initiatives for organizations ranging from Fortune 500 companies to emerging startups, he made the leap from corporate leadership to building his own consulting business to help B2B companies grow through strategic marketing leadership.

As the host of The Virtual CMO, Eric has published more than 130 episodes featuring marketing leaders, founders, and growth experts. Through those conversations, he noticed a deeper theme that extended far beyond business strategy: many successful professionals eventually reach a point where they begin asking what comes next when titles, roles, and career identity no longer feel like the full story.

That realization inspired him to launch Beyond Expertise, a show exploring reinvention, relevance, confidence, and building a meaningful next chapter in midlife and beyond. Eric brings a rare mix of executive experience, entrepreneurial perspective, and personal honesty about navigating change in real time.
