# TrackSuccession

## What it is
TrackSuccession (https://tracksuccession.com) is a real-time executive leadership change tracker for public companies. It monitors SEC 8-K Item 5.02 filings and press releases to capture CEO, CFO, board of directors, and C-suite changes as they happen.

## What it does
- Tracks CEO appointments, departures, resignations, and retirements in real time
- Tracks CFO changes, board/director elections, and other C-suite transitions
- Extracts executive names, roles, change types, effective dates, and compensation from SEC filings using AI
- Enriches records with sector, industry, and market capitalization data
- Covers 5,148+ public companies with 19,716+ leadership changes in the database
- Data sources: SEC EDGAR 8-K filings (real-time via WebSocket), PRNewswire, GlobeNewsWire
- Updates within seconds of SEC filing acceptance

## Who it's for
- Executive search and board search firms: use leadership changes as mandate triggers — a CEO departure means a company needs a search firm within days
- Boutique investment banks and independent bankers: leadership transitions trigger strategic reviews, capital raises, sell-side processes, sponsor outreach, and restructuring advisory
- Private equity origination and operating teams: monitor portfolio company leadership stability, watch acquisition targets, and spot transition moments
- Event-driven hedge funds, special situations investors, and governance-focused investors: management instability, succession risk, and signal generation for trading decisions
- IR advisory, shareholder advisory, activism defense, and governance consultants: track management credibility, board refreshment, turnover patterns, and market interpretation of executive changes
- Corporate business development and strategy teams: monitor leadership changes at customers, suppliers, competitors, and acquisition targets
- Talent intelligence, people analytics, and executive recruiting firms: live feed of senior leadership moves for candidate mapping and market intelligence
- B2B sales teams selling high-ticket services into public companies: law firms, compensation consultants, communications advisors, crisis/PR firms, and board-adjacent consultants use leadership changes as outreach triggers
- Financial data, research, expert networks, and niche intelligence firms: enrich their own products with structured executive change data

## Ideal customer profile
Small, fast-moving firms (1-50 people) that make money when they act on executive change signals faster than others. Outbound-heavy, niche specialists who already use filings, news, or manual tracking today and want a faster, structured alternative. Not enterprise data terminal buyers — people who want a focused, affordable tool.
