The leadership read
A change at the top rarely stays at the top. V2 AI'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: Backdrop: a 104.6 (Hot) Talent Market Index (up 3.6 on the month) with Oceania activity easing (-2.1pts).
V2 AI: 1 signal in the last 90 days; 2 tracked across 116 days.
