I’ve had pretty good success with RocketReach, although I’ve found it to be less effective if you’re trying to find someone with a common name at a less well-known company because there are often so many results. For example, here’s what it looks like when I tried Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft: Simply type in who you’re looking for, and RocketReach will give you a list of potential emails and the percentage success people have had using that email. This works especially well if it’s someone who’s quite high profile, but I’ve also used it to find emails of everyday professionals.

In some cases, when no emails are available, you can manually enter in the person’s work domain then click on “Find work email.”.Click on the ContactOut button then click on “Show.” Personal emails, work emails, or both may show up.Install the Contactout Chrome extension.Note, I’ve blurred out the actual emails here for the sake of the example people’s privacy.Ĭontactout is the most powerful tool I’ve found to find someone’s email address from their LinkedIn profile.
