Read more Zoom on Pierry Denejour, on the occasion of the sixth anniversary of DEP-ARTS.
In a town struck by insecurity and economic problems, where survival becomes a daily struggle, some refuse to give in to chaos. In Carrefour, a city plunged into the spiral of violence that eats away at all signs of life, Pierry Denejour embodies this spirit of resistance. Aged around thirty, the native of Port-au-Prince is not only a merchant. The only son of Evena Denejour – a "Marijàn" whose name he proudly bears –, the entrepreneur has transformed his love for art into a passion that lights up his life. A collector of paintings on canvas, he is also the founder of DEP-ARTS Production Multi-Services, a company he launched on December 2, 2018, which is now celebrating six years of active presence in the Carrefour community. Specializing in the sale of electronic equipment, MonCash and NatCash services among others, DEP-ARTS has built a solid reputation in six years. But beyond its commercial activities, it is through its ability to establish relationships of trust and support community initiatives that Pierry has established itself as a key player in its community. Under his leadership, DEP-ARTS is much more than a company: it is a symbol of hope in a town in search of renewal.
