About Us
At Enki Consulting, we take our name from the Sumerian god Enki—known for his wisdom, creativity, and compassion. He was the god of knowledge and the arts, always finding smart, thoughtful ways to help others. That spirit guides everything we do.
We work with clients around the world, across various industries and backgrounds, to help tackle tough challenges with thoughtful, tailored solutions. We know that every situation is different—and that culture, politics, and local context all play a big role. That’s why we approach every project with curiosity and a deep respect for the people and places we’re working with.

We help companies grow across borders—whether that means expanding into new markets or building stronger relationships with international clients.

Speaking Engagements & Workshops
We’ve built a reputation for bringing smart people together. Our team designs and leads engaging panels and workshops that spark ideas, challenge assumptions, and inspire action.
