B2B industry

Find the executives who are about to need outside perspective.

The best consulting opportunities are at companies in motion: a new funding round, an executive change, an acquisition, or a public declaration of a strategic challenge. WhoEngine finds those moments before they become common knowledge.

Who you will find

The people worth a conversation.

  • CEOs of 50 to 500 person companies at strategic inflection points: new market entry, acquisition, or a public turnaround
  • COOs of PE-backed portfolio companies post acquisition integrating operations and leadership
  • Functional leaders brought in to fix a specific problem and publicly seeking outside expertise
  • Founders preparing for institutional investment who need operational credibility

Signals

Signals WhoEngine reads

01

Leadership change

A new CEO, COO, or functional leader who is auditing how the company operates and is most receptive to outside expertise in their first 90 days.

02

Fundraise or acquisition

Capital events consistently precede strategic planning engagements as companies navigate how to deploy new resources or integrate a new entity.

03

Public problem statement

An executive who has publicly written about a strategic or operational challenge is signaling both the problem and their openness to input.

04

Growth inflection

Rapid headcount expansion, geographic entry, or category expansion that strains existing operating practices and invites outside support.
