Executive appointments: reach companies when new leaders arrive
When a company appoints a new CEO, CFO or other executive, priorities change. This hunter reads official company registry filings in several countries and tells your team which companies just welcomed a new leader.

What is a executive appointment signal?
An executive appointment signal is an official record that a company named a new senior officer, such as a CEO or CFO. New executives often review strategy, budgets and suppliers, which creates a window for sales conversations.
Press releases about new executives are optional. Official filings are not. In many countries companies must register changes to their officers, which makes registries one of the most reliable sources of leadership changes.
The executive appointments hunter reads these public filings across several countries and keeps companies that match your ideal customer. It works even for companies that never publish news.
Your team learns about the change early and can introduce itself with something relevant to the new leader’s first months.
