Didi Caldwell

President & Founding Principal

Global Location Strategies
Greenville, SC

While working as an intern for Fluor Daniel in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1997, Didi Caldwell had a chance encounter that would change the direction of her career. Less than a year later, she became a consultant with Global Location Strategies, then a part of Fluor’s organization in Greenville, SC. Site selection consulting combines the things that Didi loves most- helping clients make important decisions, constantly learning new things, and travel.

For most of the last 20 years, Didi has dedicated herself to assisting corporations with their location strategy – where and how to deploy their assets around the world. She has worked on projects in a multitude of industries, but her expertise and passion are in large manufacturing and heavy industrial projects. Since 1998, she has personally conducted location advisory services in more than 30 countries for both domestic capital investment and foreign direct investment projects.
