Founder & CEO
Leading GOVIBE Innovation Hub and its portfolio of ventures.
My Story
The journey, unfiltered
Every ecosystem starts with one person who refuses to accept the default future.
The Beginning
An engineer forged by constraint
Growing up in Haiti means learning early that nothing is given — electricity, connectivity, opportunity. For Roosevelt, those constraints didn't breed resignation; they bred resourcefulness. He chose computer engineering because code was the one resource no one could ration.
The Struggle
Building where others wouldn't
The easy path was to leave. The chosen path was to stay and build — through unstable infrastructure, thin capital markets and an environment where every project costs twice the effort. Each obstacle became part of the method: build lean, build resilient, build for reality.
The Lesson
Companies aren't enough
One successful product changes a business. But it doesn't change a country. The insight that redefined everything: Haiti doesn't lack talent or ideas — it lacks the connective tissue between them. Training, infrastructure, capital, community. An ecosystem.
The Vision
GOVIBE is born
GOVIBE Innovation Hub was created as that connective tissue — an academy to train talent, a lab to build products, an incubator to launch founders, and consulting to fund the mission. Every venture reinforces the others. Every graduate strengthens the network.
The Future
Haiti → Caribbean → Africa
The model being proven in Port-au-Prince is designed to travel. The next decade's roadmap: replicate the ecosystem across Caribbean markets, then bring it to African cities facing the same equation — immense talent, insufficient infrastructure. The ambition is continental.
