Reconnect with the right people when you take a new role
“I’m starting a new role: who should I reconnect with first?”
A new role changes who matters in your address book. We rebuild where everyone sits today and rank the people most useful for your new scope: peers in the same function, clients and partners of your new company, and former colleagues who have moved up since, each with a reason to get in touch.
Who it’s for
Executives starting a new position, especially after a move across companies, countries or sectors.
What we look for in your network
- Who now works with or around your new company
- Peers in the same function elsewhere
- Former colleagues whose careers have grown
- Recent appointments: a natural reason to write
- Who you haven’t spoken to in years but once knew well
An extract of what comes back
Camille Petit Retail Director Europe, Maison Orvel
Your new company’s largest wholesale client.

Julien Varenne Operating Partner, Lumen Capital
On the board of a key supplier.

+ 140 more people to see in your first hundred days in the full document, each with its reason
Fictional people and companies. The level of detail is real.
What you receive
A ranked list of people to reconnect with in your first months, each with why now and how you know them.
It starts with your network rebuilt in ten working days: careers dated, where you know each person from, how close you were, who can reintroduce you. Delivered in person, as a workbook you can filter, a searchable page and a clean address book for your iPhone.
An NDA before any file is shared. To find someone, only a name and a company leave your address book.
You choose who stays out of the search.
Professional facts only: nothing on wealth, health, religion or legal matters.
Everything deleted at the end, with a dated certificate.
Questions
- Do you write the messages?
- No. We give the reason to write; the words stay yours.
- Can you do it before I start?
- Yes, it’s the best time: ten working days, then you arrive with the list.
- What if my old company’s contacts are in a work account I no longer have?
- We work from what you still have: your phone, your LinkedIn archive, old files. The rest we rebuild from public careers.
