Studies and achievements
After his studies at the University of Miami, he obtained an industrial engineering degree and became an entrepreneur in Haiti. He decided to specialize in rice processing and flour production.
To provide an answer to the housing problem in Haiti, he modernized the brick factory founded ten years previously by his father in association with local investors in order to reduce the need of import materials and facilitate the development of the construction.
Economic and environmental commitments have made of him a visible figure in the Haitian political scene.
In 2004, he founded the nonprofit organization La Fondation Seguin, in order to preserve 11,000 hectares of the main park of Haiti called "La Visite". More widely, this foundation disseminates ecological values and sustainable development ideas. By making surrounding communities participate and benefit from better management of park resources, he caught the eye of the UNESCO and was welcomed by Irina Bokova, UNESCO Special Envoy.
In 2014, he also founded with twelve other men of Haitian affairs the group "Haiti Cherie". This initiative aims to start off the national rebirth thanks to the commitment of a responsible economic elite.
