The short answer
An executive-change trigger fires when a company’s officer, board member or CEO is appointed or removed, as recorded in a public register or filing. MarketPrior reads these changes from UK Companies House, Norway’s Brønnøysund role register, French BODACC administration notices and the related persons on US Form D filings. Each event names the person, the role and whether they were appointed or removed, with a link to the source.

Why do executive changes matter?
New executives review vendors, set new priorities and often bring tools they used before. A changed board can signal a new strategy, a financing or a turnaround. For sales teams that makes a change of leadership one of the most reliable reasons to get in touch.
In diligence, the same records answer different questions: who actually runs the company, how stable the leadership has been, and whether a director also sits on boards of companies with problems.
Where do executive changes come from in each country?
| Country | Source | What the event carries |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | Companies House streaming API (officers) | Officer, role, appointed or resigned |
| Norway | Brønnøysund role register (roller) | Role group (CEO, board …) and people, current or removed |
| France | BODACC administration notices | The notice text, e.g. a new manager (gérant) |
| United States | Related persons on SEC Form D | Executive officers, directors and promoters |
How should you act on an executive change?
- Filter to roles that own your budget — a new CEO at a small company, a new finance director at a larger one.
- Combine it with another trigger, such as a recent raise or a hiring spike, before prioritising.
- Read the source notice first: an appointment may be a formality inside a group restructuring.
- Screen the company before outreach if the change coincides with insolvency or enforcement notices.
