"No enemies" usually means he or she was never even in the game.
Here's the best advice on hiring, staffing and re-staffing I could ever give anyone. Please don't stand behind, endorse or recommend a candidate for employment, partnership or board membership--especially candidates over say, the age of 35--on grounds that he or she "has no enemies" or something to that effect. This is not a compliment. Hearing that someone is "a team player" isn't troublesome because it runs the spectrum of Weenie to Ted Turner. But saying someone has "no enemies"? It means that he or she hasn't even been in the game. You're welcome.
