The leadership read
Restructuring reshapes the leadership profile as much as the cost base. For Snaffle in the sector, it shifts demand toward transformation and turnaround leaders who hold delivery steady while the organisation changes shape. Across Oceania, watch where Snaffle still invests in leadership; that is the part it means to keep.
