The leadership read
A product move like this reshapes Foton'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 Oceania tell is whether senior GTM appointments follow; unsupported launches stall.
