The leadership read

A change at the top rarely stays at the top. Frost & Sullivan's move reshapes the layer beneath it in the sector 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: The wider read — a Talent Market Index of 104.2 (Hot), down 1.8 month-on-month — shows Americas signal flow rising (+2.1pts).

Frost & Sullivan: 1 signal in the last 90 days.
