Lusha Dataset: 1,160+ companies with a new CTO in the last 90 days

Tools: Lusha
Copy your API key

This dataset combines two distinct signals into one company-level audience: CTOs who joined from outside, and CTOs who were promoted internally. Both trigger the same review behavior — a fresh look at cloud, developer tooling, security, and AI infrastructure. For the person-level version limited to external job changes only, see the related dataset linked below.

Use cases

Cloud, infrastructure, and developer tools

A new CTO audits the entire technical stack — cloud provider, CI/CD, observability — with every contract up for review.

AI platforms and security tooling

New technical leaders are frequently brought in with an explicit AI adoption mandate, and often trigger a fresh security review as part of establishing their own standards.
