The leadership read

XEFI's partnership in the sector widens demand for commercial and alliance leaders who turn an agreement into realised value. Across EMEA, watch whether dedicated senior ownership is put on it; unowned alliances quietly lapse.
Market context: MitchelLake's Talent Market Index sits at 97.6 (Neutral), down 3.4 on the prior month; EMEA hiring signal is running rising (+5.9pts).
XEFI: 1 signal in the last 90 days.
