Check Point’s EMEA Women’s Mentorship Program is an experience designed to support women in their journey as leaders. Through one-to-one coaching, we aim to help women build confidence, develop career skills, and foster an environment of support and shared success at Check Point.

We sat down with Rebecca Frizzarin, a field marketing manager in the Central Europe region, to learn more about her experience and reflections as a mentee in our Women’s Mentorship Program.

What inspired you to join the women’s mentorship program?

I was inspired to join Check Point’s women’s mentorship program because I believe in the power of connecting with other women. Rather than seeing each other as competitors, I hope to be part of a supportive network where we can help each other grow. I also see this as an opportunity to develop my leadership skills and receive guidance on personal branding. Having a mentor who has more experience than me could provide valuable support and they could be an ambassador for me in the future.

What are the skills you want to develop and the perspectives and guidance that you need?

I hope to receive advice on how to become a good team leader and further develop my leadership skills. I’d like to improve my ability to present myself and explore different career opportunities within the company.

What do you hope to gain from the mentorship experience?

My main goal is to create a lasting connection with my mentor beyond the program’s duration. I seek mentorship, particularly in leadership, and value input from external perspectives, such as external coaches. More importantly, I hope to connect with other women at Check Point to empower each other, foster collaboration, and create a supportive environment where we can achieve great things together.

What piece of advice would you give to someone considering participating in this program?

My advice to whomever is interested in joining the program is to trust your mentor and be open about your personal goals and aspirations, as well as the challenges you’re trying to overcome with the support of your mentor. This is really fundamental for the program to be successful for both the mentee and the mentor.
