The leadership read
A change at the top rarely stays at the top. DBS Group'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: The wider read — a Talent Market Index of 104.6 (Hot), up 3.6 month-on-month — shows Asia signal flow rising (+1.7pts).
