Founder of Paret Mining Paret is the founder and CEO of Paret Mining LLC, a natural resource development company specializing in energy and mineral extraction. Under his leadership, the company has developed a diversified portfolio of energy and mining assets in the
United States and
Haiti.
Mining Operations In
Haiti, Paret Mining operates a major calcium carbonate mining project, producing approximately 5,000 tonnes per day of high-purity calcium carbonate used in construction materials, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and various industrial applications. The company's Haitian mineral resources represent one of the largest high-grade calcium carbonate deposits in the region. The mining operation includes extraction, processing, and export facilities designed to supply international markets.
Agricultural and Distillation Ventures The company owns three distilleries in
Haiti, producing traditional Haitian spirits made from sugarcane. These distilleries produce
Haitian kleren, a traditional sugarcane brandy made in the country for generations. To support these operations, Paret also cultivates sugarcane fields in
Milot, Haiti, providing the raw material needed for distillation. Building on this experience, Paret also founded King Henri Christophe Spirits, a premium spirits brand inspired by the legacy of
Henri Christophe, a historical figure in
Haiti and founder of the
Citadelle Laferrière. The brand's flagship product is King Henri Christophe Paret's Blended Whisky, a blended whisky combining aged American whiskey and Haitian sugarcane spirit. The brand was created to offer a unique Haitian-inspired whisky to international markets while celebrating the country's historical heritage.
Hospitality Investment In 2016, Paret acquired Kaliko Beach Club, a historic beachfront property in Haiti. Following the acquisition, he renovated and redeveloped the resort, transforming it into Haiti's first
DoubleTree by Hilton hotel and introducing an international hotel brand to the country's tourism sector. == References ==
