The leadership read
Gritt'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 Americas.
Market context: The wider read — a Talent Market Index of 109.3 (Hot), up 7.6 month-on-month — shows Americas signal flow rising (+6.9pts).
Gritt: 1 signal in the last 90 days.
