Ruma Balasubramanian has been appointed as President of Check Point Software Technologies’ Asia Pacific and Japan region. Ruma succeeds Sharat Sinha, who resigned earlier this year to pursue another opportunity in the industry.
She will oversee Check Point's total business in APAC, working directly with the sales, marketing, product engineering, and customer success teams.
Ruma has an extensive experience in cloud and digital transformation. She will drive Check Point’s growth through strategic partnerships and innovative, AI-powered security solutions.
Sherif Seddik, President of International Sales noted, "We are excited to welcome Ruma to our management team. Her experience in customer transformation and partner development makes her the ideal leader for our growing business in APAC as cyber security demand continues to expand. We are appreciative of Sharat’s contributions to our APAC business and wish him the best. We look forward to Ruma taking us to our next level of growth.”
Earlier, Ruma was associated with Google Cloud, where she managed high-growth segments across APAC. She also served Cisco as Vice President and Chief Transformation Officer for Asia Pacific, Japan, and Greater China business. Her global background includes key roles at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services, AT Kearney, and IBM, making her well-positioned to advance Check Point’s mission of delivering cutting-edge cyber security solutions tailored to APAC’s diverse needs.
"I’m thrilled to join Check Point at this critical time," said Ruma Balasubramanian. "As cyber threats become more sophisticated, it’s crucial for organizations to partner with a cyber security leader that enables them to securely scale through AI, data, and cloud. Check Point’s prevention-first approach and 3Cs framework—comprehensive, collaborative, and consolidated security—demonstrate our commitment to innovation and trust."
