Originally from Toulouse, Béatrice Roby obtained her Master 2 degree from Toulouse Business School in France. Direct and tenacious by nature, her professional journey is marked by two distinct phases. The first, in salaried positions based in Paris, included numerous professional assignments in the United States, Asia, and Northern Europe. She began her career as a financial auditor at KPMG Paris and later became Financial Director overseeing 12 subsidiaries at SAFT.

Following a professional retraining validated by a second Master in Training Engineering and Employment Services, Béatrice transitioned into a new role as European Director in charge of compensation. This stage of her career was focused on professional development and career growth.

At the age of 40, Béatrice’s path led her to Africa—specifically Mali—marking the beginning of a new entrepreneurial chapter dedicated to human capital. As the founder and director of the HR consulting firm BR CONSULTING, she carries out missions in Human Resources, recruitment, training, and, since 2020, coaching. Her work spans Mali and the broader French-speaking West African region.

Equally at ease in both local and international contexts, Béatrice partners with organizations that strive to place people at the heart of their development strategies.
Her credentials include:
ACC Certified ICF Coach (coachingfederation.org)
Erickson International Certified Coach
Certified Cultural Coach (expatcommunication.com)
Certified in Leadership and Management with CEGOS
Member of the International Coaching Federation
Member of the CGBB (Club of Good and Benevolent People)
Vice-President of the CSR Committee at CIEM (Club of European Investors in Mali)

A strong advocate for environmental protection, Béatrice led the organization of the R’PLAST competition, which honored three start-ups engaged in plastic bottle recycling. Building on its success, she co-founded an association to promote recycling and the circular economy in the region. She is the proud mother of a 16-year-old daughter of Fulani and French-Bambara heritage and champions an educational philosophy rooted in autonomy, balance, and holistic development. In her personal life, Béatrice finds joy in walking, painting, reading, and cooking—skills she developed through training with renowned chefs Alain Ducasse and Lenôtre. She is also deeply committed to actions that promote zero waste living.
