Selling to CIOs
The CIO runs the company's information technology: infrastructure, business applications, the IT team and the budget behind them. Where a company also has a CTO, the CTO usually owns the product's technology and the CIO owns the systems the business runs on. In hospitals, universities, government and most mid-size companies, the CIO is the top technology buyer.
CIOs buy through a process: a business case, a security review, procurement and references. Cloud, cybersecurity, ERP and data platforms, managed IT services and consulting firms all sell to them. Messages that land tie the product to something already on their list, such as a migration, an audit, a cost target or a risk, and many CIOs hand the first meeting to a director of IT.

}What comes with every CIO
One price per person, and everything we have on them comes with it: every mobile with its own do-not-call flag, emails with their check result, and the company. A column is blank when we don't have that detail.

CIO list questions
Counts as of November 13, 2026. Your own count is free and leaves out anyone you already have; after that it's 100% usage-based: pay per lead, no subscription.
How many CIOs are there in the US?
214,054 people in the US at US-headquartered companies match this list's filters, counted on November 13, 2026. 46,817 (22%) have a mobile and 196,268 (92%) a work email. Your own count can differ: it leaves out anyone you've already bought and anyone on your exclusion list.
Why not just search titles containing "CIO"?
Because the letters c-i-o sit inside words like conscious and precious and in Spanish titles such as Director de Negocios. This count only takes CIO as a word of its own: at the start or end of the title, or after a comma, ampersand, slash or "and".
Are CISOs and IT directors included?
No. Chief information security officers and IT directors have their own titles. Add "ciso", "chief information security officer" or "director of it" to Job titles in your lane to include them.
How much does a CIO lead list cost?
100% usage-based: pay per lead, no subscription. Search is 5¢ a person for the first 50,000 in a month, 4¢ up to 250,000, then 2.5¢, paid from a prepaid balance. So 1,000 CIOs cost $50. The estimate is free, you only pay for the people you export, and anyone you've bought before is never charged again.
How current are the contacts?
Every record is refreshed at least every 90 days and pulled live when you export, so job changes since our count show up in your file. The numbers on this page are recounted every month.
