The leadership read

A change at the top rarely stays at the top. Tech Council of Australia'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: MitchelLake's Talent Market Index sits at 100.2 (Neutral), down 1.1 on the prior month; Oceania hiring signal is running rising (+3.1pts).

Tech Council of Australia: 0 signals in the last 90 days; 0.1% of MitchelLake's Oceania signal flow.
