Appointed President of the Board at Garage&Co

I am pleased to announce my appointment as President of the Board at Garage&Co.

Advancing Hardtech Innovation

Garage&Co supports entrepreneurs who develop physical innovations that address society’s most complex challenges, facilitating their progression from prototype to market-ready solutions.

Our objective is to establish Québec and Canada as global leaders in hardtech innovation by accelerating the path from concept to commercialization.

Strategic Leadership

I look forward to working with Laurence Audette-Lagueux and the broader Garage&Co community, including Christian Beaubien, to advance this mission.

Relevant Experience

As highlighted in Garage&Co’s announcement, my background in hardtech entrepreneurship and artificial intelligence aligns with the organization’s strategic focus.

This includes experience from AON3D (YC W17), where I contributed to industrial 3D printing technology deployed to the International Space Station and lunar missions, through my role as CTO at 1X for humanoid robotics, to co-founding a Personal Intelligence™ company and founding Nadeau Innovations, which was acquired by SmartOne.ai.

I have also been involved in ecosystem development as co-founder of AI Salon Montréal and mentor with CDL-Montreal, NEXT AI, and Startupfest.

At Garage&Co, we maintain that significant innovations emerge from strategic governance and collaborative vision. This appointment represents an opportunity to contribute to Canada’s leadership in the hardtech sector.
