The leadership read
A change at the top rarely stays at the top. Signavio's move reshapes the layer beneath it in Marketing 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 102.6 (Warm), down 1.7 month-on-month — shows EMEA signal flow steady (0pts).
Signavio: 1 signal in the last 90 days — in line with the Marketing median of 1 across 25 tracked companies.
