Rolando, can you tell us a bit about yourself?
I’m a proud father of three beautiful girls. I was born and raised in Florida. I received a master’s degree in electrical engineering at the University of Florida. I worked on ASIC and board design for the space industry before transitioning to cyber security sales.
What led to your decision to join Check Point?
I was looking for a career change where I could help people more directly with my engineering skills. I enjoyed working with customers as a sales engineer in Florida my first few years at Check Point. The evolution of cloud computing piqued my interest, and my current role allows me to continuously learn about new technologies.
What is your current role and what does a typical day look like for you?
I am a Cloud Security Architect. I work with many customers, small and large, on securing their cloud infrastructure. I work with our sales teams to help them understand our messaging around cloud security. Finally, I work with our technical sales teams to keep them up to date on the latest cloud technologies and how we can help secure them.
What are you most proud of personally and professionally?
At a personal level, I’m proud of being very involved in my kids’ lives. While having a challenging career that can consume all my time, I’ve been able to prioritize my health and family. Professionally, I have earned a great reputation amongst my colleagues for being able to help customers and sales teams effectively.
What can we find you doing outside of work?
I like to stay active. I coach Girls Academy soccer and volunteer at school organizations in my spare time. I enjoy paddle boarding, skiing, fishing… basically spending time outdoors.
