The leadership read
A change at the top rarely stays at the top. Eskom's move reshapes the layer beneath it in Energy 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: This lands while the Talent Market Index reads 97.6 (Neutral) — down 3.4 versus the prior month — and EMEA signal share is rising (+5.9pts).
Eskom: 1 signal in the last 90 days — in line with the Energy median of 1 across 47 tracked companies.
