Specialists
There’s no shortage of know-it-alls and grifters on the internet claiming expertise in everything. Open X and it’s non-stop AI threads promising to take down whole industries. The real specialists are usually too busy doing the work.
Converge Studio is a solo practice — you get one operator, one point of view, one person accountable. But product work has edges: pricing psychology, technical due diligence, design systems, go-to-market repositioning. Sometimes the sharpest move is bringing in someone who’s spent a career on exactly that.
When that’s the right call, I pull from a network built over fifteen years. Sometimes it’s a five-minute gut check. When it’s more, they partner under my engagement with your sign-off, billed separately.
