The leadership read

Leadership transitions often precede broader consulting bench-strengthening over the next two quarters.

Market context: This lands while the Talent Market Index reads 98.6 (Neutral) — down 1.4 versus the prior month — and Americas signal share is easing (-2.6pts).

Spark Capital: 1 signal in the last 90 days — in line with the Consulting median of 1 across 40 tracked companies; 0.1% of MitchelLake's Americas signal flow.
