The leadership read

A product move like this reshapes 8x8's org chart as much as its roadmap. Scaling in the sector rests on product leadership that can carry a launch to adoption and commercial hires who turn early traction into pipeline. The EMEA tell is whether senior GTM appointments follow; unsupported launches stall.

Market context: MitchelLake's Talent Market Index sits at 104 (Hot), down 1.9 on the prior month; EMEA hiring signal is running easing (-2.2pts).

8x8: 1 signal in the last 90 days.
