Executive e-mail addresses

Try the following strategies:

Search online to see if news articles, press releases, or other websites mention that person, especially if they serve as a board member. This will work better with large companies.
Search within databases as some may contain executive emails or other contact info.
Try a WhoIs (who is) search on the company name using a domain registration site, such as GoDaddy.com.

Finding Org Charts

Finding official org charts for companies is difficult. Sometimes you can find an outside source that offers unofficial (i.e. anyone can edit) charts for whatever companies people choose to include.
