The leadership read

A change at the top rarely stays at the top. Cardlytics'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: Backdrop: a 104.6 (Hot) Talent Market Index (down 1.9 on the month) with Americas activity rising (+2.1pts).

Cardlytics: 1 signal in the last 90 days.
