# Managing Directors (Geschäftsführer) in Germany with Emails

**Use case:** 

German companies list their heads under local titles. This task searches Geschäftsführer, Inhaber, managing director and CEO together at companies in Germany with 10 to 250 employees, each with a live email, name, title, company and LinkedIn URL. German titles were among the most searched on our lead Actors in October 2026. The same titles work for Austria and Switzerland.

## FAQ

### Why search German titles as well as English ones?

Many German profiles say Geschäftsführer or Inhaber, not managing director or CEO. The Geschäftsführer task searches all four, so a company is found whichever language its head uses.

### What does the Geschäftsführer task return?

The Geschäftsführer task returns heads of German companies with 10 to 250 employees, each with a live work or personal email, name, title, company domain and LinkedIn URL. People without an email are skipped for free.

### Can I run it for Austria and Switzerland?

Add at and ch to Countries in the Geschäftsführer task, or pick dach in Country groups. Keep the German titles, and add directeur for the French-speaking part of Switzerland.

### How do I pick one region inside Germany?

Put a city or state into Cities in the Geschäftsführer task, for example münchen, berlin or bayern. The filter reads the location text of each profile inside the chosen country.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/b2bsearch/b2b-leads-finder.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
