Roger Kirkness

Roger Kirkness is the founder and leader of Convictional, an early-stage technology startup developing collaborative email and decision-making software designed to align enterprise teams. He currently directs product development for the company's centralized workspace platform, which recently launched a specialized collaborative email product alongside a free research preview for early users. Beyond software development, Kirkness actively researches and authors detailed essays on modern workplace communication challenges, specifically analyzing the erosion of team alignment caused by synchronous chat applications and artificial intelligence. Under his leadership, Convictional utilizes its own internal decision-making frameworks to test operational policies, including the successful implementation of a four-day work week for its employee base. His current professional focus centers on building scalable software infrastructure that replaces fragmented messaging with structured, asynchronous tools to improve complex business decision processes across distributed organizations.
