Find a company's owner, director or manager contact
When the person you need is the operating manager, the owner or a managing director — name, title, email and phone — the route runs through the org chart, the business register and LinkedIn. Here's how to identify the right person and get their verified work details.

The hard part is rarely the contact detail — it's working out who holds the role you need. "Operating manager", "managing director" and "owner" mean different things at different companies, so start by pinning down the person, then get the details.
Identify the right person first
Titles are inconsistent across companies. Before hunting for an email, confirm who actually owns the decision:
- Owner — at small firms, often the same person as the founder or managing director; named in the business register.
- Managing director — runs the company day to day; a registered director in most jurisdictions.
- Operating manager / operations manager — owns delivery and process; usually found by role on LinkedIn rather than in filings.
Where to find name, title and contact
-
LinkedIn, searched by role
Filter by the company and the title you need. This gives you the exact name and current title — the two things every later step depends on. See finding an email from a LinkedIn profile.
-
The company website
Team, leadership and "our people" pages list managers by name and title, and regional or department pages surface the operating roles that don't appear on the main page.
-
The business register
For owners and directors, the national company register is authoritative — names, roles and a registered contact. More on this below.
-
Press, case studies and events
Managers are quoted in case studies and speak at industry events. These name the person and their exact remit, and often carry a contact.
-
A verified B2B contact finder
Once you have the person on LinkedIn, a finder returns the verified work email and any direct number in one step — with the source shown, so you know what you're trusting.
Name, title, email and phone — in one click
Open the manager or director's LinkedIn profile. GetLeadz confirms who they are and returns the verified work email and direct mobile where one exists, each with its source and freshness.

For owners and directors, the national register is the most reliable source, and it's public:
- Netherlands — KVK (Kamer van Koophandel) lists directors and the registered office.
- United Kingdom — Companies House is free and names directors, appointments and filings.
- India — the MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) register lists directors and their DIN.
- United States — filings are per-state (Secretary of State registries); coverage of named officers varies.
The register gives you the name and role reliably. It rarely gives a direct email — for that, take the name to LinkedIn and verify the work address.
Getting the verified email and phone
With the name and employer confirmed, get the address the safe way: either infer the company's email pattern and verify it against the mail server, or use a contact finder that verifies for you and shows the status. Direct phone numbers are scarcer than emails for managers just as they are for anyone — see how to find a phone number for why, and treat any number without a labelled line type as a switchboard until proven otherwise.
The switchboard shortcut
When a specific person won't surface online, the oldest method still works: call the main line and ask for the role by title — "could you put me through to your operations manager?" Reception will usually give you the name, a direct extension, or the transfer itself. It's slower than a tool, but it never returns nothing, and the name it gives you feeds every other method on this page.
FAQ
How do I find the owner or managing director of a company?
Public company registrations in most countries list the owner and directors by name. Cross-check with the company's LinkedIn page, where the leadership team is usually visible, and its About or team page. Once you have the name and employer, a B2B contact finder returns the verified work email and, where available, a direct number.
How can I find a manager's name, title, email and phone?
Search LinkedIn by company and role — for example the operating manager or a department head — to get the exact name and title. Then verify the work email against the mail server, either by inferring the company pattern or with a contact finder that reads the profile and returns the verified address and phone.
Is a company director's contact information public?
A director's name and the company's registered contact are public in many jurisdictions through the business register. A director's personal email or mobile is not public and should be treated more carefully; a work email reached about their professional role is the appropriate B2B contact.
What if the company doesn't list anyone by name?
Use LinkedIn's company page to find people by role, check the business register for named directors, and look at press or event pages. If a specific person still isn't findable, a switchboard call asking for the role by title — the operating manager, say — often gets you the name or a transfer.
