Wouldn't LWC work if you create a phantom number and have a Auto Msg Waiting light on the other persons phone as a button? You can program a speed dial on the exec's phone to light the mesg lamp for that phantom user in which the buttone is on the phone of your choice.

A few questions:
Are you talking about the message waiting light or will any button with a light do?
Do you want the light to be controlled by the exec and therefore would need to be turned off by him when he leaves or is it sufficient to have the light go on when he signals he has arrived and the target can turn it off.
Do you need confirmation that the exec's presence has been noted?
Could the exec call the target and tell them he's in and if they don't answer, leave a message that he's in (which would turn on the light)
I would expect that the brightness of an executive making this type of request would be sufficient that all would know when he is in their presence.

Any button will do.

Yes, the exec should control so he will turn on and turn off.
Do you need confirmation that the exec's presence has been noted?
No confirmation needed.
Could the exec call the target and tell them he's in and if they don't answer, leave a message that he's in (which would turn on the light)
That would be too simple. God forbid they actually talk to each other.
They prefer the button on/off solution.

Never assume...

Ok, here's one solution:
1) Create a new Hunt Group.
NonACD, NonVector, etc (you know the drill).
2) Populate at least one entry into the HG.
3) Add HUNT-NS buttons for your new HG onto dueling execs phones.
4) Button is pushed, lights go on both phones.
