About
A consultancy built like a delivery team.
Enigma Partners Global exists because organisations don't need more advice. They need someone senior who walks in, builds the thing, and leaves it running.
Managing Partner
Douglas Trainer
Douglas Trainer leads every engagement. Fourteen years in the British Army's Intelligence Corps, including three Afghanistan tours.
Builder of the UAE Government's sovereign cryptographic certification authority — from a standing start: team, processes, technology. Helped scale a consultancy's delivery business from a single $300K engagement to $40M+ across 17 programmes in 8 countries. Founder of a government-backed cyber company.
He has spent a career being handed things that had to work.
The team
Around him sits a small senior team — including co-founder Sam Rigby on the technology and delivery side — and a bench of vetted consultants, many ex-Intelligence Corps, deployable direct or through partners.
How we behave
Four things we hold ourselves to.
-
01
Build, don't just advise
Advice is the start of the job, not the deliverable.
-
02
Senior people, no leverage pyramid
The people you meet are the people who do the work.
-
03
Honest reads, even when they cost us work
If we're not the right team, we say so — and say who is.
-
04
Leave it running
The engagement ends; the capability stays.
