AmCham Haiti Hosts M. Laurent Saint-Cyr

As part of its ongoing commitment to fostering constructive dialogue between Haiti’s private sector and public institutions, AmCham Haiti launched a new conversation series on May 5, 2026, bringing together business leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals for an exclusive exchange with Mr. Laurent Saint-Cyr.

The event marked the beginning of a new initiative designed to provide members with direct access to influential decision-makers and individuals who have played significant roles in shaping Haiti’s political, economic, and institutional landscape.

Drawing from his extensive experience in both the private sector and public service, Mr. Saint-Cyr offered participants a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing Haiti today. His remarks touched on issues of governance, economic development, institutional leadership, public-private collaboration, and the difficult realities of decision-making during periods of national uncertainty.

Throughout the discussion, participants gained valuable insights into the complex relationship between economic policy, political stability, and sustainable development. Mr. Saint-Cyr reflected on lessons learned from his leadership experiences and emphasized the importance of long-term vision, institutional strengthening, and constructive engagement among all sectors of society.

The conversation also explored the evolving role of the private sector in Haiti’s future. Participants discussed how businesses can contribute not only to economic growth and job creation but also to strengthening governance, supporting public institutions, and helping restore confidence in Haiti’s development prospects.

A particularly appreciated aspect of the event was the opportunity for attendees to engage directly with the speaker through a candid question-and-answer session. The exchange allowed members to raise concerns, seek clarification on current challenges, and discuss possible pathways toward greater economic stability and growth.

The event reflects AmCham Haiti’s belief that informed dialogue is essential to building bridges between sectors, encouraging collaboration, and fostering a deeper understanding of the issues affecting the country’s future. By creating opportunities for open discussion with leaders from various backgrounds, the Chamber continues to fulfill its mission of serving as a platform for thought leadership, engagement, and advocacy.

This inaugural conversation set the tone for a series that will continue to bring together prominent voices from Haiti’s public and private sectors, providing members with valuable perspectives on governance, economic policy, leadership, and national development.
