New exec plus hiring surge
A new leader signals a mandate. A hiring surge under that leader signals the mandate is funded and moving. Here is how to read the pair.
Why stronger together
A new leader signals a mandate. A hiring surge under that leader signals the mandate is funded and moving. Together they show a decision-maker actively building the team they were hired to build.
What the pair usually means
The exec is not just re-evaluating the inherited stack, they are staffing their plan. New leaders tend to bring or buy the tools they trust, and they do it early, while they still have room to reshape the function.
Recommended play
Reach the new leader in their first 90 days, framed around the function they are standing up. Tie your category to the mandate the hires reveal, and offer to help them build rather than replace what already exists.
