Unite Caribbean

What Unite Caribbean does

Unite Caribbean is a privately held Caribbean consulting firm founded in September 2017 by Thomas Chollet and Damien Bauchau, headquartered in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe, with operational offices in Saint Lucia, Haiti, St. Martin/Sint Maarten, and Canada. The firm operates a dual-line business model: (1) advisory consulting across four priority sectors — Environment and Climate, Water and Waste Management, Governance, and Economic and Social Development — and (2) self-initiated regional cooperation projects implemented in partnership with Caribbean public, private, and philanthropic actors.

The firm's core service offering is full-cycle project delivery, including vulnerability diagnostics, strategic planning, project engineering, climate financing support, and institutional capacity building. Multilingual delivery (French, English, Spanish) and permanent local presence across multiple Caribbean jurisdictions allow the firm to serve fragmented island markets that non-Caribbean consultancies find difficult to cover. Project work spans more than 40 executed contracts with budgets ranging from €20,000 to over €1,000,000, drawn from a client base that includes bilateral and multilateral donors (GIZ, EU, UNDP, IDB, Expertise France), national governments (Government of Haiti, Saint Lucia ministries), development banks (Caribbean Development Bank), and philanthropic organizations (CHANEL Foundation, Fondation de France).

Unite Caribbean monetizes exclusively through project-based professional services contracts acquired via competitive tendering and direct institutional engagement. There are no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or revenue figures. The firm deploys 12 permanent consultants alongside a bench of more than 30 associated experts, and has built a portfolio of branded initiatives — RePLAST OECO (regional recycling), PAIRC-C (climate resilience), Karayib Klima (CSO networks), and Impact Caribbean Inc. (gender and climate research) — that create recurring engagement surfaces with donors.
