In the sector, taking a release to scale rewards product leaders with a commercial edge and operators who build the post-launch motion. Watch whether The Home Depot backs it with senior go-to-market hires across Americas — that separates a platform move from a one-off.
Market context: Against a Talent Market Index of 100.1 (Neutral) (down 1.1 month-on-month), Americas is at easing (-1.8pts) on signal share.
