The leadership read

DJ Insight Co., Ltd.'s raise resets the leadership agenda more than the balance sheet. Capital into the sector buys room to build senior operating and commercial bench strength ahead of scale. The near-term tilt favours operators who have scaled before; the appointments that follow say more than the announcement did across Asia.

Market context: MitchelLake's Talent Market Index sits at 122.7 (Hot), up 17.8 on the prior month; Asia hiring signal is running rising (+8.2pts).
