Our Leadership
Founder-CEO-Board of Directors
Roselene Alexis, Esq. J.D., LL.M
Roselene Alexis, Founder and CEO of Kay Nou, is an experienced business strategist and corporate attorney. She leads Kay Nou’s global direction and operations, leveraging her extensive experience with startups, corporations, and nonprofits.

As a strategic leader, she collaborates closely with Kay Nou’s executive team and Board of Directors to align with the mission of uniting and empowering Haitian communities. Her expertise in international trade and partnerships helps drive systemic change and sustainable development.
As a Founder, how do you envision Kay Nou’s impact on the community?
“I created the Kay Nou model because I saw that the Haitian community was fragmented and lacked coordination. We did not lack expertise, will, or capacity, but we needed a unified structure to bring us together. This structure would help us succeed both individually and as a community, in Haiti and the diaspora.
With this unified approach, we could amplify our collective influence and improve conditions in our local communities and in Haiti. That is what Kay Nou is: a strategic framework that allows Haitians to decide what they want for Haiti and then make it happen.”
