Joel Dubin
Joel Dubin is an adult survivor of the corporate world. He is a retired cybersecurity consultant who spent decades banging his head against the wall working with messed up companies around the world. One day, after a stressful day – like every day – when he was about to throw a chair through a window, he had a sick thought. There had to be a better way. He noticed seven common traits of screwed up businesses and assembled them into a book, just before he was about to be carted away to an insane asylum.
He is also a polyglot fluent in several languages, including gibberish, which enabled him to do business in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. He is the author of another humor book, Yes Dear! A Husband’s Guide to Marriage and both editions of the not-humorous book, The Little Black Book of Computer Security. He has an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University.
His other humor book, Yes Dear! is based on his happy three-decades plus marriage to Sara Guralnick, children’s book author and jewelry designer. They live in Chicago.
