The leadership read
A change at the top rarely stays at the top. Macquarie Capital'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: Against a Talent Market Index of 97.6 (Neutral) (down 3.4 month-on-month), Oceania is at rising (+5.6pts) on signal share.
