How does Cleanlist AI find COO email addresses?
Cleanlist AI locates COO direct addresses through a waterfall that includes operations professional directories, industry conference speaker lists, and board-membership databases alongside 25+ standard B2B providers. Every email gets a live SMTP check, and role-based addresses like ops@ are flagged so you can tell a shared inbox from a personal one. Turn on phone append for an office or mobile number, 10 credits when one is found.
Why this is hard to do by hand
COOs get their email screened more than any other executive. Korn Ferry's 2025 C-Suite Accessibility Survey found 81% have an executive assistant triage their main inbox, the highest rate of any C-level title. COOs cover operations, finance, HR, IT, supply chain and customer experience, so every vendor in those categories pitches them. A guessed COO email usually lands in that assistant-managed inbox, where vendor mail gets filed away. If you sell BPM, ops tools, supply chain platforms or HR tech, you need a verified email the COO reads and a phone number.
Why 81% of COO email gets triaged by an assistant first
Korn Ferry's 2025 C-Suite Accessibility Survey of 1,200 executives across 14 industries found that 81% of COOs have an assistant triage their main work email before they read it. That is the highest rate of any C-level role, ahead of CFOs at 76% and CEOs at 73%. COOs are the default escalation point for more functions than anyone else, which makes them the most over-targeted executive in B2B. Many operations leaders keep a second inbox they read themselves, often firstname.lastname@company.com, while a role alias like coo@company.com goes to the assistant. Cleanlist AI SMTP-checks the personal address and flags role aliases, so you know which one you're writing to.
What a lookup costs
Each lookup walks 25+ providers in cost order, and you're charged once for what comes back: 1 credit for a verified work email, 10 for a phone number, 11 for both. Validation is 0.5 and AI qualification is 5. A lookup that finds nothing is free, and the whole team pays from one wallet.

How it works.
- 01
Search by company, industry or size
Enter a company name, or filter by industry and employee count. Most COO roles sit at companies above 200 employees, so a headcount filter keeps the search where the role exists.
- 02
Filter by COO and operations titles
Cleanlist AI matches COO, Chief Operating Officer, President & COO, EVP Operations and Head of Operations together.
- 03
Verify the email
Each result gets a live SMTP check, and shared addresses like ops@ or office@ are flagged. Send cold outreach to the verified personal addresses.
- 04
Add a mobile number
Turn on phone append. The waterfall looks for a mobile or office number across 25+ providers, and every number is labeled by line type.
- 05
Export or sync
Download a CSV or sync to HubSpot, Salesforce or your outreach platform. Each record carries its last-verified date.

Manual process vs Cleanlist AI.
| Feature | Manual | Cleanlist AI |
|---|---|---|
| Shared inbox detection | No visibility (a guess often hits the shared inbox) | Role-based addresses flagged |
| COO title variant matching | Misses President & COO and Founder-COO variants | Five operations titles in one search |
| Mobile number | Rare (often switchboard only) | Office or mobile, labeled by line type |
| Real-time email verification | Not available | SMTP check at the moment you search |
| Coverage for non-tech industries | Tech-biased in most B2B tools | Filter any industry: manufacturing, logistics, healthcare |
| Bounce rate on results | High (gatekeeping plus title variation) | Every address verified before export |
How accurate is Cleanlist AI's data?
Cleanlist AI returned 98% verified work emails and 85% phone numbers on our 500-lead benchmark, pulling from 25+ data providers. Each lookup stops at the first deliverable result, meaning a verified or likely-valid email.
What do I get when I sign up?
A 14-day Pro trial: 250 credits, 3 seats, and every Pro feature. After it, the Free plan gives you 50 credits a month. A verified work email costs 1 credit, a phone number 10, and a miss nothing.
What data providers does Cleanlist AI use?
Cleanlist AI runs a waterfall across 25+ B2B data providers. For each record it asks one, moves to the next when that one has no match, and stops at the first deliverable result.
Can I connect my CRM?
Yes. HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive sync both ways on the Pro and Enterprise plans, and Outreach, Salesloft and Lemlist take a one-way push. You can also upload a CSV, or use the REST API from Pro.
Is this data GDPR compliant?
Cleanlist AI returns work contact data for B2B sales research and isn't a people finder for private individuals. Whether your outreach meets GDPR depends on how you use the data, so check your program with counsel.
How do I tell whether a COO email goes to the executive or their EA?
You usually can't tell from the address alone. Cleanlist AI flags shared role addresses like ops@ and SMTP-checks the personal address, but it doesn't label EA-managed inboxes. A reply from an assistant is the tell. For scheduling requests, writing to the assistant is often faster anyway.
Why is COO contact data harder to find than other C-level roles?
COOs cover more functions than any other executive (operations, HR, IT, finance, supply chain, customer experience), so more vendors pitch them and their contact details get more protection. A 2025 Korn Ferry survey found COOs get an average of 142 unsolicited vendor emails a week, the most of any C-level role, which is why 81% use an assistant to triage.
