| Type: Audience | Records: 7,500+ | Window: Last 30 days | Updated: Daily | Tools: Lusha, Claude, ChatGPT, API |
This dataset surfaces companies where a VP-level executive joined from outside in the last 30 days. The 30-day window is when new VPs are taking meetings, auditing their inherited stack, and making the first vendor decisions of their tenure.
VP-level hires are the most actionable hiring signal in B2B outbound — frequent enough to build real pipeline volume, senior enough to sign contracts.

1
Competitive displacement
New VPs rarely inherit the previous leader’s full vendor stack without question. The 30-day window is when they audit what they have and decide what stays. Get in front of them before the status quo is confirmed.
2
Weekly pipeline generation
7,500+ companies per month means real pipeline volume. Run this as a weekly sequence filtered to your ICP and you have a consistent, signal-driven top-of-funnel that never runs dry.
3
Re-engage stalled pipeline
Cross-reference this dataset against deals that went dark or were lost. A new VP at a previously lost account is the best reason to re-open the conversation.
4
Customer success — churn prevention
A new VP at a customer account means your champion may have changed. Flag it within 30 days and assign CSM outreach before the renewal cycle starts under new leadership.
