The leadership read
Alliances broaden the commercial surface, and the leadership need follows. National Grid's partnership in Energy widens demand for commercial and alliance leaders who turn an agreement into realised value. Across EMEA, watch whether dedicated senior ownership is put on it; unowned alliances quietly lapse.
Market context: Backdrop: a 122.7 (Hot) Talent Market Index (up 17.8 on the month) with EMEA activity easing (-17.7pts).
