Business career
From 1999 to 2011 he was the president of Hainet, one of the internet providers in Haiti. The company became insolvent and sold its assets in 2013.[3] He is one of the founders of the Association des Entreprises de Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication (ATIC).[4][needs independent confirmation]
Fils-Aimé was a member of the board of Banque de l’Union Haïtienne (BUH), where he replaced Eddy Deeb, until his nomination as Prime Minister of Haiti.[5]
He was the president of the Chamber of Commerce of Haiti in the government of former president Michel Martelly.[6] He ran for a seat in the Senate for the Vérité party in 2015.[7]
Acting Prime Minister
On 10 November 2024, he succeeded Garry Conille as acting Prime Minister of Haiti. Conille was fired by the Transitional Presidential Council the same day.[8]
On 23 January 2026, the Transitional Presidential Council attempted to fire Fils-Aimé, seeking a replacement within thirty days.[9] However, Laurent Saint-Cyr, chairman of the Transitional Presidential Council, refused to sign and publish the motion on Le Moniteur that would have removed him.[10] After the mandate of the Transitional Presidential Council expired on 7 February 2026, powers were handed over to Fils-Aimé.[11]
On 23 February 2026, the "National Pact for Stability and the Organization of Elections" was signed by a number of political parties and civil society groups to support Fils-Aimé as the sole executive of Haiti until the next election is held.[12]
