The leadership read
A change at the top rarely stays at the top. SiteMinder's move reshapes the layer beneath it in Sales 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: The wider read — a Talent Market Index of 97.8 (Neutral), down 3.2 month-on-month — shows Oceania signal flow rising (+5.6pts).
SiteMinder: 5 signals in the last 90 days — above the Sales median of 1 across 25 tracked companies; 0.2% of MitchelLake's Oceania signal flow; 7 tracked across 151 days.
