CIO Email List

Warm up on LinkedIn

Connect and comment a week before you write. Your name should not be new when your email lands.

Time your email

Send early in the morning, Tuesday to Thursday. Three short sentences and one clear ask.

Follow up by phone

Call two days after the email. The direct phone is in the record where available.

Send direct mail to top accounts

A letter to the registered address stands out. Save it for the accounts that matter most.

What they care about

Security, uptime and integration with what already runs. Reference businesses like theirs and name your compliance certifications early. Hype vocabulary costs you the read. Sellers of security, cloud and infrastructure do best with one concrete risk story.

When to reach out

Budget planning season, usually the fourth quarter, and the first weeks of a new fiscal year. Buying cycles are long here. Plan a sequence over weeks, not a single send.

What gets delegated

Vendor scouting goes to IT managers and architects, who build the shortlist. Security review goes to the CISO where one exists. Make your email easy to forward downward. That forward is how most vendors actually enter.

Contacting people about their role at a business is a recognised legitimate interest under the GDPR. Our records come from official business registers and public business sources, not scraped consumer profiles. You get the source noted on every record, and we handle removals for you.

Tell us your target.

Countries, industries, business sizes and the fields you need.

Review a free sample.

We send a tailored Excel sample and a fixed quote within 24 hours.

Receive your file.

Download in Excel or CSV, or connect through the API.

We refresh every record against its official register monthly and re-verify email addresses on the same cycle. IT leadership changes get picked up in the next refresh, so you are not writing to someone who left.
