About C-enable

Who we are

C-Enable is part of the Enable group, which has been hiring and advising senior leadership talent around the world since 2001. Due to the absence of a dedicated executive search and talent consultancy firm focused on senior talent within the crypto industry, we founded C-Enable in 2022

As the digital asset industry evolves, the competition for optimal leadership is becoming increasingly challenging. Increased regulation and traditional finance moving into crypto necessitates rigorous governance and leadership from the very best talent at Board-level, C-level and below.

To stay ahead of their competition, crypto businesses are having to look outside their own networks to hire the very best senior executives and non-executives to transform and scale their firms.

C-Enable exists to make this possible.

Made up of a team of experienced consultants, some with over 20 years of experience in headhunting and talent consultancy, C-Enable’s mission is to help this fantastic industry get to where it deserves to be in terms of hiring and developing talent.

Our Vision

C-Enable’s vision is to transform the digital asset industry from a talent acquisition and talent development perspective.

In an industry where the demand for talent outpaces supply, our mission is to bridge the gap.

We are dedicated to supporting firms with their hiring, onboarding and retention of the very best, diverse global talent at a leadership level.

Dedication, Expertise, Passion

Tim Connolly

Founder & CEO

Tim founded his first executive search firm, ALC Enable, in 2001 and in 2022 founded C-Enable for the Crypto and Digital Asset industry, followed by Benchmark Your Job in 2023.

With a background in film, theatre, and publishing, he established the ‘Creative and Media’ practice for a London executive search firm in the late 1990s.

With 22 years of working the top end headhunting firms around the world, Tim saw an opportunity gap for a top end executive search and talent consultancy business focused at Board and C-level within the crypto space. This resulted in C-Enable , the first search firm to do this in a dedicated way and Benchmark Your Job was a natural spin-off.

Tim also coaches and mentors industry leaders, enabling them to hone their skills and experience, develop and prioritise their plans for their business and achieve their goals.

He is fanatical about 1980s and 2020s music, a passionate skier, an okay chess player, a below-average children’s magician, and the least prolific stand-up comedian on the London circuit, averaging one gig every 4 years to date. He still would like to try his hand at comedy, it’s just a question of whether his arm and the rest of his body will follow.
