Annie-Claude Devriese (she/her)

Growth & Partnerships, Garage & co

Annie-Claude is a creative leader with a deep passion for entrepreneurship and its potential to drive meaningful change. As a consultant with Garage&co, she's a generalist operator who thrives at building things from scratch: partnerships, events, communities, and ecosystems at the intersection of hardware, deeptech, and AI.

Previously Managing Director of Notman House, Montreal’s original startup hub, Annie-Claude worked alongside hundreds of early-stage founders, helped shape a community-driven space for them to connect and grow, and played a key role in shaping the city’s innovation landscape. She brings the same spirit to everything she does: building connections, creating momentum, and contributing to projects that align with her values and curiosity about the world.
