The leadership read
A change at the top rarely stays at the top. PolyNovo'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: This lands while the Talent Market Index reads 122.7 (Hot) — up 17.8 versus the prior month — and Oceania signal share is easing (-24.9pts).
PolyNovo: 1 signal in the last 90 days.
