The leadership read

A change at the top rarely stays at the top. Verve'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: The wider read — a Talent Market Index of 104.6 (Hot), up 3.6 month-on-month — shows EMEA signal flow steady (+1.2pts).

Verve: 2 signals in the last 90 days; 3 tracked across 168 days.
