165 transfers and 139 promotions.

Even though it may appear that CEOs hiring market is active, Anderson Willinger, executive search experts, observed, that many of them are leaving for smaller companies outside of the corporate world. Thus, in general, 2/3 of the observed changes concern smaller to medium-sized companies.

Transfers and internal promotions are well balanced. In the first half of the year, transfers were only 7 percent more than internal promotions from total numbers.
