About

I’m Gonçalo Henriques, a growth leader focused on turning great products into self-sustaining growth engines. I blend UX, data, and experimentation to craft product experiences that sell themselves. At Roofr, Krisp, and OutSystems, I’ve led product-led growth initiatives that delivered tangible SaaS outcomes and built cross-functional teams that ship with velocity.

At the core, I’m obsessed with turning insights into value. My Product-Led Growth Playbook distills proven frameworks into actionable systems, helping teams optimize onboarding, activation, and retention while driving measurable revenue impact.
