In May 2017, I had the honor of addressing President Jovenel Moise on behalf of the private sector in Haiti in front of President of the National Assembly (Parliament), several Ministers, and 300+ members of the private sector. There are many challenges in this market, the current mindset is the biggest weakness. The political and business culture must change. I served 5 years on the board to bring forth this much needed change and promote sustainable business practices.

Foreign aid has not forged a sustainable path in Haiti. With decades in experience of successful breweries in emerging markets, HEINEKEN seems to have it figured out. After they acquired BRANA, I crossed-over into the Haitian private sector to join forces with a company interested in sustainable business development. Representing BRANA in various chambers, the business culture became very clear to me. Here you see Michel and Charlene de Carvalho Heineken visiting us in Haiti to verify a sustainable approach of their investments.

In an economy inundated by non-profit organizations, the dependency paradigm is strong and the economy is weak. You need real game changers, decision makers, and sustainable business development to get things moving. On the Board of AmCham, I was once the only woman and the only under 50. Today there are 5 women and everyone is under 50.
