The leadership read
A change at the top rarely stays at the top. WBUR'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: Against a Talent Market Index of 122.7 (Hot) (up 17.8 month-on-month), Americas is at rising (+34.4pts) on signal share.
