When I first started consulting more than 25 years ago, both technology and life were simpler. My clients retained me because they felt I knew the answers.
As recently as ten years ago, my clients were confident I'd be able to find the answers.
Today, my clients retain me in the hope I'll be able to ask the right questions.
Steve Bergman, Teleconvergence founder and owner, has a 30-year history in management, telecommunications and technology, marketing, consulting, and strategic operations/planning. Teleconvergence primarily represents his experience and his personal attention to clients.
He has unusual expertise at both product management and sales and a unique ability to create company and product positioning that achieves valuable differentiation in otherwise commodity-like settings. He has a multicultural and multilingual perspective that, along with his ability to use technology to achieve business objectives, enables him to find markets, channels, and diverse ways to create new revenue streams. He’s a team player, working with CEOs and others to provide perspective and in-depth expertise that may be lacking or otherwise unavailable in-house.

He participated in the Portland Community College (PCC) steering committee that created PCC’s E-commerce curriculum, and has also taught Telecommunications Management there.
