In both Brazilian and American business contexts, 'conventional professionals' often carries a neutral to slightly conservative connotation. In Brazil, this term is frequently used to distinguish traditional practitioners from the growing tech and startup entrepreneurial class. In the USA, particularly in NYC, the term may imply institutional stability and reliability but can also suggest resistance to innovation or change. The phrase reflects broader cultural tensions between established professional hierarchies and emerging disruptive models in both countries.
