The leadership read
Consolidation shifts the leadership question from growth to integration. For Macquarie in the sector, the demand moves toward transformation and integration leaders who can merge teams, systems and cultures without losing momentum. Across EMEA, watch whether the integration is properly resourced; deals are won or lost the year after they close.
Market context: This lands while the Talent Market Index reads 104.6 (Hot) — up 3.6 versus the prior month — and EMEA signal share is steady (+1.2pts).
Macquarie: 1 signal in the last 90 days.
