Steve Silverman is an independent cartoonist and author of "Success with Failure", an irreverent view of IT consulting work in large companies and public agencies.

By day, Silverman works as a security consultant for a large multinational firm. Although this description may sounds glamourous at first, the real work involves sitting in windowless meeting rooms with bureaucrats debating trivial details, table of contents formating and terminology.

In order to "mitigate risks" with his current employer and avoid potential "issues", Silverman uses a pseudonym and he is entirely comfortable with the shroud of secrecy.

Silverman resides in Canada and can be reached at steve at success with failure dot com.
