Tips
Signature tips for founders and ceos
- 01
Less is more senior
Leaders who write short emails look busy in a good way. Name, title, company and website is often enough.
- 02
Use one line for news
A single line about hiring, a launch or a plan keeps your signature current. Change it when the news changes.
- 03
Skip the quotes
Motivational quotes take space and can look like marketing. Let your company speak instead.

Questions
Straight answers.
What should a CEO email signature include?
Name, title, company and one or two ways to reach you. Many CEOs add the website and leave out the phone number, which goes to an assistant.
Should founders add a calendar link?
If you want investors, partners or customers to book you directly, yes. If your calendar is managed by someone else, leave it out.
Founder or CEO: which title should I use?
Use the one people you write to will recognise. "Founder and CEO" is fine when both are true.
