Bhaskar Bakthavatsalu
Regional Director - India & SAARC
Check Point Software Technologies
As the Regional Director for India & SAARC at Check Point, Bhaskar’s primary role is to understand the business needs and challenges of his customers and partners and to ensure that those are translated and delivered by Check Point as solutions that benefit them. With an eye for detail, the other aspect of his function is to identify customers who understand the value it offers and get them to become early adopters of its solutions.
With a deep understanding of technology, he runs business profitably and not the other way around. Apart from having technology-appreciation abilities, he has an open mind, willing to listen, absorb information and build relationships that can be leveraged to create meaningful business impact.
A key quality is to be able to communicate thoughts and ideas clearly, both internally as well as externally. He is of the belief that an effective Technology Evangelist needs to continuously push the boundaries of what is perceived as ‘possible’ and be an ‘enabler’ of unconventional possibilities.
