This dataset surfaces companies where a new C-level executive joined from outside in the last 30 days. Thirty days is the primary evaluation window — the new leader is in discovery mode, auditing every inherited relationship, and deciding which vendors stay and which get replaced.
Decisions made in the first 30 days tend to stick for the length of the contract. This is the window to get in front of them.
✓ CEO, President & CEO
✓ CRO, Chief Revenue Officer
✓ CMO, Chief Marketing Officer
✓ CTO, Chief Technology Officer
✓ CFO, Chief Financial Officer
✓ CPO, Chief Product Officer
✓ CISO, Chief Information Security Officer
✓ COO, CIO, and all other C-suite titles

1
Competitive displacement
A new C-level exec rarely keeps the previous team’s entire vendor stack. The 30-day window is when they audit everything — the best moment to present an alternative before the status quo gets confirmed.
2
Enterprise sales — new mandate
New C-level leaders are hired to change something. They arrive with a mandate, a budget, and pressure to show results in 90 days. Reach them while the mandate is fresh and the budget is unallocated.
3
Partnerships and alliances
New CROs and VPs of Partnerships are rebuilding their partner ecosystem from scratch. This is the window to propose a new relationship before their program is set.
4
Customer success — churn prevention
A new C-level exec at a current customer means your champion may have changed or lost influence. Assign a CSM outreach within 30 days to build the relationship with the incoming leader before renewal.
