Executive Email Carpet Bombing no longer works well, even with a cogent, calm, clear explanation of the issue and what you want them to do. At best it gets sent to a customer service manager, but in my experience it often gets sent to a black hole.
Half the execs at my company have declared email bankruptcy, and even if you work with them and they're expecting an email from you, you have to follow up in person or text them to tell them to check their email for the email they asked you to send them.
