Real‑Time Tracker Unveils CEO & CFO Swaps from SEC Filings

A single‑developer project now streams SEC filings to surface every CEO, CFO and board change in real time. Over the past month, the tool logged more than 2,100 executive movements, exposing trends that were previously buried in 8‑K reports.

The site pulls data from SEC EDGAR 8‑K filings, Form 3s and press releases, then parses compensation figures. It reports an average new CEO pay of $8.4 million across 284 appointments, while CFO compensation averages remain undisclosed but are tracked similarly.

Because the data refreshes as new filings appear, analysts can spot succession patterns instantly. The open /explore page allows anyone to filter by sector, company size or geography without a login, making it a valuable resource for investors, journalists and corporate insiders alike.

Ultimately, the project democratizes access to executive‑pay insights, enabling stakeholders to compare remuneration across companies in a way that was previously labor‑intensive.
