Week In Review:
February 13, 2026
On The Ground
Normally this is where we’d tell you what it means that five CEOs were appointed this week or how to read the tea leaves on the continued commercial leader shifts. But it’s Friday the 13th, so we figured we’d skip the insight to make way for the huge number of exciting people moves this week.
Looking ahead, we’re dropping our predictions for 2026 next week, so keep any eye out, and let us know where you agree or disagree!
If you’re going to be in LA for VIVE, drop us a line, and hear our predictions live!
