Dr. Whitten is a Canadian lawyer, banker, and author whose career has taken him from North American boardrooms to the heart of the Caribbean’s offshore financial world.

Over a span of more than 25 years, Dr. Whitten worked internationally as a lawyer and private banker, living in the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, and Barbados. During that time, he advised financial institutions, governments, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals, gaining rare insight into the realities behind global finance, power, and ambition. His career ultimately led him to become the owner of a Caribbean bank, offering him a front-row seat to both the excesses and contradictions of the international banking sector.

Those experiences became the foundation for his writing. His nonfiction works, including The Slacker Chronicles series, offer a candid, often humorous look at corporate culture, private banking, and the unpredictable paths that lead to professional success. Dr. Whitten with sharp wit and self-awareness challenges the polished myths of business life while embracing its absurdities.

Dr. Whitten later expanded into fiction with the More Than A Place In The Sun series. Set in the Caribbean, the novels blend adventure, satire, and personal reinvention, exploring how friendship, purpose, and unexpected opportunity can reshape a life. While fictional, the stories draw heavily on the environments and characters Dr. Whitten encountered throughout his international career.

Dr. Whitten continues to write with a focus on storytelling that entertains, disarms, and occasionally unsettles. His work reflects a consistent theme: success is rarely linear, and humour is often the most reliable survival skill.
