Beatrice Caldwell, Consultant 

Beatrice has 10 years of experience in learning and development, working across the media and banking industries.

She spent 5 years in her last role as Head of Learning and Development at Starcom Mediavest Group and so has a good understanding of media agencies and the people.  Beatrice achieved great success in heading up the group training function and was responsible for the development for 300 people. 

Working closely with the Board, senior management and the New York office, she divided her time between coaching, facilitating and course design and delivery (personal development and IT training) whilst aligning the learning needs of the people to the business objectives.

Beatrice has a broad range of skills and has experience of implementing mentoring programmes, graduate programmes, learning and development awards and core competences. She is a MBTI practitioner, holds CTI coaching certificate, is a member of the CIPD and attends the NLP Academy seminars in her own time.

After having had her first baby and taking some time off, Beatrice decided she was ready for her next challenge so joined Bec Development as a consultant, bringing her energy, passion for learning and development (and shoes and handbags!) and experience with her.
