The leadership read
Fresh capital is a hiring signal before it is anything else. For MORE, a raise in the sector funds leadership depth, scale, go-to-market and operational rigour, rather than any single appointment. Watch where MORE hires first across Americas; that is where the capital is really pointed.
Market context: The wider read — a Talent Market Index of 122.7 (Hot), up 17.8 month-on-month — shows Americas signal flow rising (+34.4pts).
