Mike Flowers, a former Bloomberg administration tech guru, has joined a SoHo startup that seen as a Google-like search engine for open government records.
With the move, Flowers becomes the rare high-ranking official who worked for Mayor Bloomberg who didn't jump directly to his former boss's closed-off financial data giant.
Flowers, who helped create the Mayor's Office of Data Analytics, is joining Enigma as its chief analytics officer, the company announced in a blog post Friday morning.
The former mayor has hired dozens of his former staffers to work at his companies, including two deputy mayors, Dan Doctoroff and Cas Holloway, adviser Kevin Sheekey and many from his NYPs security team.
"Mike brings an extraordinary depth of experience regarding how data and analytics can be leveraged to improve operational efficiency and to drive smarter decision making across a variety of contexts," the company wrote in the post.
"He is already actively working with our largest enterprise clients," Hicham Oudghiri, the company's chief executive officer and founder, told The Post.
Enigma collects information from often hard-to-find public databases and allows people to search by keywords or company names.
The company has worked with financial giants like Goldman Sachs and SAC Capital, according to one person familiar with the company.
Flowers is known as a kind of Billy Beane of data, and used public information for everything from helping prevent fires to cutting down on restaurants dumping grease in sewers.
Beane, the Oakland A's general manager made famous in Michael Lewis' bestseller "Moneyball," is known for finding talented players off the beaten track — often at bargain basement prices.
