Peter Cullinane is a well-known creative, advertising executive and entrepreneur who played a hand in establishing a number of successful New Zealand brands. Formerly COO of global advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi, he most recently founded New Zealand dairy brand, Lewis Road Creamery.

Raised in Wellington, New Zealand, where he attended boarding school at Silverstream School in Wellington, Cullinane's first job in advertising was at Wellington-based agency Mackay King. Some years later, Mackay King was acquired by Saatchi & Saatchi where Cullinane eventually became COO. During his tenure at the agency's helm in New York, the September 11 Attacks occurred and Cullinane and his family decided they would return home to New Zealand.

Upon returning home, Cullinane along with longtime collaborator Kim Thorp established an agency called Assignment Group. He later joined his first public board, Sky City Entertainment and later media business NZME. (Mads 04:03, 11 August 2020 (UTC))
