20+ years building and leading technology and marketing businesses. Co-founder and CEO of Crucial Cloud Hosting (acquired) and Online Marketing Gurus (exit), and former COO at Jaywing. He understands what it takes to lead teams, build companies, and navigate change from the inside.
On Convergence he is the author of record for everything published — the guides, the prompt packs and the tool comparisons. The writing comes out of building the product itself: what teams actually do with a shared prompt library, where prompt sprawl starts, and which conventions survive contact with a real team.
Convergence is a prompt library for individuals and teams, built in Australia by the team behind Better People. More about the company is on the about page.
