The problem it solves

You need to know who holds which leadership roles at a company before a risk assessment or an outreach effort, but googling names one at a time is slow and easy to get wrong. Keeping that research organized in a spreadsheet by hand adds even more time.

Who it fits

Security teams and consultants who need to map an organization's public leadership footprint before an assessment or exercise.

How it works

  1. You give it job titles to search for, like CISO or CEO
  2. It searches Google for matching public LinkedIn profiles
  3. It pulls out each person's name, title, and profile link
  4. It logs every result to a spreadsheet with a timestamp
What you get

Leadership profiles mapped before an engagement

You get a spreadsheet listing the public LinkedIn profiles for the executive titles you're researching, complete with names, titles, and links.

What you get

A spreadsheet listing names, titles, LinkedIn links, and timestamps for every public profile found.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, a Google Programmable Search Engine with an API key, and Google Sheets.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
