Leadership change accelerates as expansion fades

Leadership change is 15.3% of this week's signals against 12.3% over the prior four weeks; expansion fell from 10.5% to 7.3%. The Americas and Oceania carry the shift. Starpharma (leadership change), BTC Health (expansion) and Australian Unity (leadership change) carry it this week.

In Asia, that consolidation tilt changes the brief: demand tilts to integration and turnaround leadership, meaning COOs, transformation directors and post-merger integration leads rather than the growth-stage hires a raise-led market produces.
