The leadership read
Fresh capital is a hiring signal before it is anything else. For Enact Intelligence, a raise in the sector funds leadership depth, scale, go-to-market and operational rigour, rather than any single appointment. Watch where Enact Intelligence hires first across EMEA; that is where the capital is really pointed.
Market context: Against a Talent Market Index of 109 (Hot) (up 7.3 month-on-month), EMEA is at easing (-3.1pts) on signal share.
Enact Intelligence: 1 signal in the last 90 days.
