Summary

Operator who focuses on 0→1 launches, activation and growth: Gonzalo has repeatedly led early-stage product work (activation flows, onboarding and core experience) and growth experiments across marketplaces and consumer platforms—examples include activation and re‑engagement work at Rappi and activation/onboarding work at On Deck that he credits with measurable revenue and ops improvements. gonzalosaenz+2
Experience scaling restaurant operations products in LATAM: while at Rappi he led restaurant‑facing product work for restaurant operations—public materials describe this as work supporting a large restaurant base and multi‑million GMV growth, indicating experience building products that operate at scale and across multiple countries. gonzalosaenz+1
International product and AI rollouts: more recent work at INFINIT is described as launching AI‑enabled products across several European markets, showing capability in internationalization, productization of AI features, and cross‑market launches. gonzalosaenz
Teacher/mentor and content creator: Gonzalo publishes a Substack newsletter with lessons for PMs, mentors on ADPList and Mentoring Club, and runs community sessions (e.g., Notion website workshops). That mix of coaching, writing and speaking indicates a strong practice of documenting and teaching product craft. substack+2
