The leadership read
A product move like this reshapes DigiFT'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 Asia tell is whether senior GTM appointments follow; unsupported launches stall.
Market context: Against a Talent Market Index of 104.6 (Hot) (down 1.9 month-on-month), Asia is at steady (-1pts) on signal share.
DigiFT: 1 signal in the last 90 days; 0.1% of MitchelLake's Asia signal flow; 2 tracked across 85 days.
