Scott Adams

Scott Adams is an American author, cartoonist, and entrepreneur, best known as the creator of the Dilbert comic strip. Born on June 8, 1957, he has built a significant career that spans various fields including business commentary and satire. Adams initially worked in clerical roles before fully committing to cartooning in 1995, after creating Dilbert while employed at Pacific Bell in 1989. The comic quickly became popular, addressing the social dynamics of white-collar work environments.12

In addition to his work on Dilbert, Adams has authored several nonfiction books, including Loserthink, which critiques common cognitive biases and encourages critical thinking.2 His commentary often intersects with political themes, particularly during the Trump administration.

Currently, Adams serves as the Chief Strategy Officer at WhenHub, a company he co-founded. WhenHub provides a platform for live interactions with subject-matter experts, akin to services like Cameo but focused on real-time consultations.1 Despite facing controversy in the past—such as his poorly received tweet during the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting—Adams continues to be active in both his cartooning and entrepreneurial endeavors.13
