New leadership recently hired

Why it matters

When a company brings in new leadership—whether it’s a C-level executive or board member—it usually means change.

That could mean new direction, new strategy, and maybe new purchases. It’s a good opportunity to see if your product can help fill a gap.

Dig into what the new hire means for the company. Research the organization and any relevant news items that will help you tailor your messaging.

Then it’s time to find the right person to outreach. It may be the new addition or someone else at the company who will be working closely with them.
