About

I was eighteen the first time I walked into a library. I've spent my life since building the things I didn't have. Born Jacques Medina Jean in Haiti. Twenty-five years building enterprise technology for Honeywell, Invensys, and Schneider Electric across more than 30 countries. Six Sigma Black Belt, PMP, ITIL. MS from Carnegie Mellon. Today, two things have my attention: TechFides: I help small to mid-size companies, and governments own their AI. We install it on hardware you own, configured for your operations. Your data never leaves your building. No climbing cloud bills. Medical offices, law firms, auto dealers, property managers, trades, municipalities and countries. Levoila: A citizen-led global heritage trust. We're starting in Haiti, restoring the Citadelle Henri Christophe, Sans-Souci, and Fort Liberté. Before that, I built three public libraries in northern Haiti serving 500,000+ people. Board Chair, OVYNA. Co-Chair (Founding), American Business Council Gabon. Forbes Technology Council. Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses. I work in English, French, Kreyòl, Spanish, and Portuguese. → Free AI Fit Check: techfides.com → Levoila stewardship: levoila.org → Everything else: jacquesmjean.com
