There’s a great new web site called ExecutiveBomb.com that lets you probe for contact information of executives from a growing database of companies.
The site was originally created to direct victims of bad customer service to a person in charge who could actually help, like Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, but it is quickly evolving into data-rich org charts that can be mined for sales or recruiting purposes.
If you pull up the Microsoft listing, not only does Ballmer’s direct phone line come up, but you can also see the email addresses and numbers for other engineers and senior vice presidents in various departments.

This is great information. I will definately add it to my list of resources that I hand out to career coaching clients.
Thanks.
