Decision Makers Finder ✅ CEO, CTO & Founder Emails by Country

The people who sign: founders, owners, C-level and VPs, by country, industry and company size, every row with a live email and the LinkedIn profile URL. A decision maker email finder for whole segments, built on our own database of 800M+ professional profiles, no login, no cookies; for the leadership of one company by its domain, use Decision Maker Finder by Domain. From $1.50 per 1,000 decision makers; people without an email are skipped and cost nothing.

• ✅ Decision makers by default. Seniority is preset to C-level, Founder, Owner and VP, read from the job title so that CTO,

  Chief Technology Officer
  and Head of Technology all land where they belong. Assistants, interns and students are excluded before anything is counted.
• ✅ A live email on every row. A work address on the current employer's domain, or a personal mailbox. Addresses that only match an old employer never ship. Those are the ones that bounce.
• ✅ Any segment, not one company. Country or region, industry, headcount, city, headline keywords. For the leadership of one company by its domain, use Decision Maker Finder by Domain.
• ✅ No minimum order, no charge for misses. Pay per decision maker delivered, from the first one.
• ✅ Mobile numbers on request, charged only on rows that carry one.

FAQ

I want one decision maker per company.

Set maxPerCompany to 1. The first match per company ships, the rest are skipped free and counted in one note row.

Why does my list hold "Head of" people when I asked for C-level?

It does not, unless you add the Head of bucket. Seniority is read from the title: "Head of Technology" is Head of, "Chief Technology Officer" is C-level. Add the bucket you want, or put the title words in jobTitles.

Do I need a LinkedIn or Apollo account?

No. No login, cookies or API key besides Apify. Nothing is collected from any network while your run is in progress.

Can I run it from n8n, Make or an AI agent?

Yes. The Actor is a tool on the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com?tools=b2bsearch/decision-makers-leads-finder) and a step in n8n, Make and Zapier. Cap what one call may spend with maxTotalChargeUsd.

Free Apify plan

Free accounts get the same rows as paid ones, with three limits. A run delivers at most 100 results when started from Apify Console and 25 when started through the API, a schedule or an integration; an account gets 500 dataset rows per calendar month on this Actor, found rows and misses alike; and a row that finds nothing carries only its status. Previews and counts, where this Actor offers them, stay free and outside the monthly allowance. When a limit stops a run, the status line and the last dataset row say which limit it was, what is left and when it resets. Any paid Apify plan removes all of this: Starter is $19/month and includes $19 of usage.

Feedback and reviews

How did it go? A rating on this Actor's Reviews page tells the next buyer what to expect; we read every word, good or bad. Got a wrong or stale row? Open the Issues tab with the run ID. Issues are public, so leave out emails, phones and names; the run ID is enough for us to find the row. We check every report, fix what is ours to fix and answer in the thread.
