The leadership read

A change at the top rarely stays at the top. Attacq's move reshapes the layer beneath it in the sector as a new leader sets priorities and the team re-forms. Watch the first two or three appointments that follow; they signal direction more reliably than any statement.

Market context: MitchelLake's Talent Market Index sits at 104.6 (Hot), up 3.6 on the prior month; EMEA hiring signal is running steady (+0.2pts).

Attacq: 1 signal in the last 90 days.
