Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun combination: 'convergent' (tending to come together or to unite) modifies 'thinker' (a person who thinks), so it denotes a person whose thinking converges on a single solution. This compositional pattern is regular in English (and mirrored in many languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Convergent thinker gives a simple picture: convergent means ideas coming to one point and thinker is someone who thinks. That's why a convergent thinker is a person who focuses on finding 'one correct solution' to a problem.
