Rivlin praises Check Point CEO on winning Israel Prize
President Reuven Rivlin praises Check Point CEO Gil Shwed upon being awarded the Israel Prize in technology and innovation.
“When Gil Shwed was released from the IDF, he didn’t dream about a buyout. Along with Shlomo Kramer and Marius Nacht, he started Check Point, the flagship of Israeli high-tech, a company whose innovativeness and leadership represent us proudly in the world and remains in Israeli hands,” says Rivlin.
“My dear Gil, no one is more deserving than you to be the first Israel Prize winner in the field of high-tech,” the president adds.
