David Gonzalez
Product Manager at Minnect🤝
Ex-Gartner 📊
Harvard Class of 2020📚
Former Harvard Men’s Lightweight Rower and Team Manager🚣🏼♀️
Let’s talk about🗣️:
-Setting yourself up with a professional career at a young age
-Product Management
-Getting into top schools
-Interviewing best practices
-Your resume and how to make it better
-Rowing & lifting
-Good money habits for young professionals (a dollar saved is a dollar earned 💰)
-Mindset for young professionals
-Any topic in which you would like to have a logical soundboard
Welcome to Minnect! My name is David, but many of you may know me as Minnect Support.
Born in Miami, the son of Cuban🇨🇺 immigrants and a first generation college student at Harvard. I majored in Economics with a minor in Psychology, with some stat classes sprinkled throughout.
🎓Upon graduating in the midst of the pandemic, I began my career at Gartner. I was a Business Strategy and Operations Associate for about two years. During this time frame, I helped shape Gartner’s digital event strategy and developed tools that optimized Client Success Associates’ abilities to serve clients. During my client facing rotation, I worked with Heads of Finance and Real Estate, some from Salesforce, Abode, Whole Foods, etc., on their mission critical initiatives while simultaneously revolutionizing how clients were served by developing a framework orientated around the client’s job to be done.
👨💻I made a lateral pivot into Product by joining a team derived from a start-up Gartner had just acquired. I worked in a multitude of features until I was elevated to the task of integrating Gartner’s Peer Community into their event portfolio, allowing for the continuation of an in-person experience on a digital platform.
🚣🏼♀️I rowed for nearly 8 years. In high school, I was a two-time Scholastic National Champion and won the Lightweight 8+ Youth National Championship by open water my senior year. I then walked on to the Men’s Harvard Lightweight Rowing team, where my accolades include a gold medal at Eastern Sprints and a silver medal at the Head of the Charles Regatta, the largest regatta in North America.
Since then, I have dabbled in strength training. I’ve competed in two powerlifting competitions and won bronze at my second event totaling ~1275 pounds.
Other than that, my hobbies including cooking, reading, enjoying nature, 👾gaming🎮 and hanging out with my dog Kingpin🐶
Thanks for using Minnect!

Ryan Flanagan
Need help with E-Commerce, Marketing, Branding, Startup Struggles?
Awards & Recognitions:
🏆 (2024) Inc Regionals: Mid-Atlantic #54
🏆 (2023) Inc5000 #159 Overall, #2 in Retail
🏆 (2022) FedEx “Customer of the Game”
My main company is called Hatching Time and holds the recognitions above. Through the company’s rapid e-commerce growth, opportunities have presented themselves and doors have opened. I have been able to expanded into other markets quickly and diversify my portfolio. If you are interested in hearing more, please text or setup time to chat.
I am excited to work with individuals who are beginning their entrepreneural journey. Getting expert advise about difficult decisions along the way will pay off in the long haul. One piece of advice is to find a good mentor that is where you want to be.
Having built and scaled a portfolio of self-funded companies to MM sales, I can help growing companies find weaknesses in their strategy.
I have a passion for showing others how to scale their business rapidly through e-commerce sales and global distribution. Once you have the blueprint, scaling company after company is like copy and paste, with some tweaks depending on the industry.
So why do consulting? After having been asked from friends and family about business questions, I figured why not share my experiences on here too. I launched this account in Feb, 2024 so if you need any referrals, please see my LinkedIn.
