| Type: Audience | Records: 650+ | Window: Last 7 days | Updated: Daily | Tools: Lusha, Claude, ChatGPT, API |
This dataset surfaces companies where a new C-level executive joined from outside in the last 7 days. Seven days is the highest-signal window — the new leader hasn’t briefed their team yet, hasn’t committed to any vendor, and is actively forming first impressions of every tool and relationship they inherit.
The first week is the window before the window closes. Reach them now.

Real signal events from the Lusha API, June 13, 2026. Decision maker contact details available on enrichment and masked here for privacy.
1
First-mover outreach
Day one to seven is before the new exec has briefed their team, committed to a vendor, or formed opinions about the current stack. The rep who reaches them in this window gets the first relationship.
2
Automated trigger sequences
Connect this signal to your CRM or Make/n8n automation. Every time a new C-level hire fires on a target account, enrich the record and trigger your outreach sequence the same day.
3
Customer success — churn risk
A new C-level exec at a current customer means your champion may have changed. Flag the account immediately and assign a CSM outreach before the new leader inherits someone else’s vendor list.
