Fastest way to find a Head of Strategy's email?

Name + domain through HuntMeLeads — ~90% verified hit in ~2 seconds.

Do Heads of Strategy read cold email?

Yes, when the note reads like a market memo — thesis, evidence, one question.

Wednesday 8:30am local. Before their weekly exec review.

What subject lines convert?

Thesis-led: 'Category consolidation in [space]', 'Adjacency question for [Co]'.

Attach a memo or link a doc?

Link a 1-page Notion or Google Doc. Never a slide deck on first touch.

Under 2% on verified strategy contacts — highly stable corporate emails.

22 months. Best window: 60–120 days into role when they're pressure-testing the strategy.

Pitch competitors or adjacencies?

Adjacencies. Competitors are already tracked; adjacent-market intel is scarce and prized.

Why generic pitches die at the strategy desk

Heads of Strategy triage inbound like an analyst inbox. Product pitches without a market frame get discarded before line two.

The unlock: adjacent-market intelligence, competitor teardowns, or a thesis they haven't seen. That reads as peer, not vendor.

The 66-word email Heads of Strategy reply to

Thesis + evidence + one question.

compose · cold email

Subject:

Adjacency question — [Co] in [emerging space]

Body:

[First] — three of your peer incumbents quietly acquired point solutions in [adjacent space] over the last 6 months. Deal notes suggest ~$40M–$70M ranges.

Curious: is [Co] tracking build vs buy here, or is the space still below the strategy radar?

I have a one-page teardown of the three deals — happy to send, no ask attached.

What kills a strategy pitch

✕ Product-first framing

Lead with the market, not the tool. Strategy leaders buy the thesis first.

✕ Sales deck attachment

Reads as low-effort. Link a Notion memo or Google Doc.

✕ Asking for 30 min

Ask for a 5-line reply on the thesis. Meetings come later.

✕ No source citations

Every number needs a source. Analysts distrust unsourced claims.
