João Gonçalves

product Manager in Coimbra, Portugal

Hey, I’m João, a tech product manager deeply interested in human interaction with design systems.

Despite having graduated from Business Administration (BSc) and Marketing (MSc), all my professional activity has been around technology - developing and managing digital products from concept to delivery.

I have led engineering teams to deliver high impact and highly critical products, ranging from SMEs digital transformation projects to SaaS platforms used daily by publicly traded companies, having highly positive contributions in sectors as divergent as Health and Retail.

I work for the future lying ahead. I lead with compassion. I thrive for positive impact.

I recently understood the beauty of gastronomy and now I travel to write about food, wine, craft beer and coffee. I want to learn it all.

Peace of mind comes from running, cycling and cooking. Joy comes from friends around a table. A sense of purpose comes from challenging problems that have real impact in people’s lives.

I bake my own bread and do extra work where most don’t see any point to it - I’m not fond of the easiest paths but the ones that seem correct, even if it takes you longer, because “Its the not the Destination, It's the journey” that keeps you going.

I work for the future lying ahead. I lead with compassion. I thrive for positive impact.
