The TechFides Conviction
Privacy Is Not a Luxury. It Is a Requirement.
Most mid-sized businesses get two bad choices: rent cloud AI that leaks your data, or fall behind.
We built TechFides for a third way — your own AI, on hardware you own, with your data never leaving the building.
We don't rent you AI. We hand you the keys.
Local Expertise. Global Reach.
Headquartered in Frisco, Texas, TechFides operates as a distributed powerhouse with dedicated operations in Guadalajara, Mexico, and Libreville, Gabon. Our footprint allows us to support multi-national infrastructure projects and local AI deployments with equal precision.
By maintaining deep roots in North America, Latin America, and Africa, we bring a global perspective to solve local engineering challenges — ensuring that AEGIS and our Local Stack are resilient, compliant, and ready for scale in any regulatory environment.

A Legacy of Large-Scale Execution
From the Corporate Boardroom to the Founder's Office
Jacques Jean didn't build TechFides in a vacuum. His vision is forged from 25 years of managing multimillion-dollar technology operations for global titans like Honeywell and Schneider Electric — spanning five continents, every corporate function, and some of the most complex regulated environments on earth.
After witnessing how enterprise-grade governance was consistently gated behind massive budgets, Jacques transitioned from the corporate boardroom to the founder's office. He saw a gap that no one was closing: the middle market was hemorrhaging money on cloud AI subscriptions, sending sensitive client data to third parties, and getting locked into vendors who controlled their pricing and their future.
Today, he draws on his Forbes Technology Council insights and deep infrastructure expertise to ensure TechFides 2.0 provides SMBs with the same "architectural armor" used by the Fortune 500 — at a fraction of the cost, deployed on hardware they own, with data that never leaves their building.

Our Story
Thirty countries taught us one thing. Real problems deserve real solutions.
Our story does not start in a boardroom. It starts on the road. Our founder spent 25 years implementing technology for companies like Honeywell, Invensys, and Schneider Electric across 15 countries, and has lived in Europe, Asia, Latin America, the United States, and most recently Africa.
That road teaches you something no classroom can. A clinic in Texas, a ministry in the Caribbean, and a factory in Africa all want the same thing: technology that works, solves a real problem, and belongs to them. So that is what we build.
Our journey is just beginning, and we are growing with our clients. Commercial sector or public sector, the way we work does not change.
We listen. We partner. We learn. We improve. And we grow together.
Since day one we have been building the bench, bringing on partners and executives who have run real operations, so clients get senior experience from the first conversation. Together the team carries 125 years of combined corporate experience, and it keeps growing as we move into new markets and new technology. Behind all of it is a simple love of serving our community, global and local, wherever you are.

Our Culture
Build it to last. Build it to matter.
Our founder walked into a library for the first time at 18. He has since built three public libraries in northern Haiti through the Universal Learning Centre, serving communities of more than 500,000 people. That is the standard behind everything we install: build it to last, build it to matter.
Responsible AI is our core. Governance is what we do.
Every system we install is built to be owned, governed, and trusted.
What We Stand For
These aren't marketing talking points. They're the engineering constraints we build every product around.
Data Ownership
Your data belongs to you. We deploy AI on hardware you own, in buildings you control. Nothing leaves your premises.
Model Agnosticism
We don't lock you into one vendor. Deploy Llama, Mistral, Phi, or any open model. Switch freely as the landscape evolves.
Operator Discipline
We sell what we would install for our own company. If a deployment won't work for your business, we will tell you — even when it costs us the deal.
Global Perspective
Built from 25 years of deploying technology across North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. We understand local nuance at global scale.
