About me
Hi! I'm Martin Gontovnikas, but everybody calls me “Gonto”.
I'm a software engineer that now works on both Marketing and Product. Wait, what? I combine creative experiments with bleeding-edge tech to drive growth for the world's top 1% SaaS.
Methodology
The dual engine
Marketing brings them in. Product keeps them there.
Marketing
I drive high-intent signups using creative, unconventional channels that others overlook. I reject generic playbooks in favor of bleeding-edge tactics, applying an engineering mindset to validate wild ideas and secure unfair distribution advantages before the market catches up.
Growth Product
I optimize Activation and Retention by combining product taste with rigorous data. I don't just run random A/B tests; I apply a library of winning experiments from the top 1% of companies, ensuring we implement what actually works at scale.
