It feels like if i want to find the ceo att company xx I sometimes can't get him to pop up durong the "find people at these companies", but i can find him under the company at a tool like apollo.io (http://apollo.io). Anyone have an idea?

Hi Samuel G. We have all been there. My first assumption about the reason for data discrepancy is “data freshness” - some providers scrape data more frequently. I have no info on the scraping frequency for each provider so I can’t comment on data accuracy by provider ie. Apollo vs. others. On the side note: which keywords did you use to pull the CEO data? Did you use both “CEO” “Chief Executive Officer”? In smaller entities, perhaps you can go ahead and search for “Managing Director”, “Co-Founder” etc.

Hey Samuel G., it's mandatory for members to add their full names and a profile picture to their Slack profile (pets or AI-generated portraits also work). The community feels more intimate and less anonymous when one knows who they are engaging with so will be great if you can update your profile here. Thanks in advance! 🤝
