The leadership read
A product move like this reshapes Divest'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: The wider read — a Talent Market Index of 97.8 (Neutral), down 3.2 month-on-month — shows EMEA signal flow rising (+5.9pts).
Divest: 1 signal in the last 90 days.
