Diego Arrabal has been appointed vice president for Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EEMEA) at Check Point Software Technologies, a cyber security solutions provider.

The business announced the appointment yesterday, stating that Arrabal, who will be located in Dubai, would oversee operations across the EEMEA region, driving Check Point's vision of offering artificial intelligence-powered security to assist customers and partners in an evolving threat landscape.

“This region is undergoing rapid digital transformation, with governments and enterprises embracing AI, hybrid cloud, and connected infrastructure at scale,” said Diego Arrabal, VP EEMEA at Check Point. “Our job is to ensure security is not a barrier, but a business enabler." 

Check Point said Arrabal brings more than two decades of experience leading multicultural teams in the cyber security and technology sectors.

Most recently, he led VMware’s Networking and Security business across EMEA.

“Diego’s passion for customer success and his experience across complex markets make him the right leader to scale our impact in EEMEA,” said SherifSeddik, president, international sales at Check Point. “He understands the region’s diversity and urgency, and I am confident he will build strong, trust-based relationships with our customers, partners, and teams.”
