The Profile of Jaures Robert: General Secretary & VP of Operations

Mr. Jaures J. ROBERT, VP of operations, of Third World Investment and Development Corporation, attended the Frères Paulin catholic elementary school in Haiti where he receives a solid education based on strong moral values and self-discipline. He was only fourteen when the New College Bird high school’s orientations test reveals that the young Jaures meets all the conditions to become a successful business entrepreneur.

No one ever escaped his destiny! At seventeen, still in high school, he was running the nation’s capital through its hotels, clinics, and stores marketing the brand-new Lemisol, a beauty and cleaning Dominican product range. In order to manage his sales, he will attend a private business school where he learned the basic principles of accounting. A few years later he will get a Bachelor Degree in Business Accounting at the “Institut de Gestion et de Comptabilité”, a private University.

He was president and founder of the Northern Province Economic Development Corporation (NPED), a private resource development company established for the purpose of identifying projects and pursuing investment and development opportunities worldwide. NPED served also as a business information source for the dissemination of information to entrepreneurs’ interested in participating in the economic development process of the Republic of Sierra Leone.

Pragmatic and strong-minded, his philosophy is “action”, which means for him: “sales, sales, sales and the right people to manage it”. When asked about his vision for any successful enterprise his response is always the same: “It is no limit on how big you can become once you can guaranty the quality of your product and the truthfulness of the statements around it”. If a product doesn’t meet those requirements, he moves to the next one.

His journey will take him to Rhodes Island in 1996 where he markets the brand-new Alpine Air Purifier, the first ozone-releaser air cleaner and in New York in 1998 with Quixtar, a network marketing firm. His major sales accomplishment for this network company over a 6-month period will be recognized in Virginia where he is decorated besides other successful entrepreneurs.

A year later, when the energy deregulation occurs, he will help launch the new Option Energy natural gas and energy alternative and in the early 2002, will successfully market in the Caribbean the new BioChoice Immune Support and Immune26 from Legacy for Life.

On January 2003, the Trade Division of Third World Investment and Development Corporation responsible of the importation of a new brand coffee name from Haiti will appoint him as a Sale Consultant in its marketing effort throughout the US. A few months later he will become the Director of Sales of this Division. His past experience, his passion for sales and vision for the Haitian coffee, make him the right person at the right place on the right time.
