Solutions Architect
First Technology
Cape Town, South Africa
Partner BlackBelt since 2026
"Building secure and innovative IT solutions with wisdom, integrity, and a faith-centered commitment to serving others."

Solutions Architect
Trace3
Raleigh, NC
Partner BlackBelt since 2026
"“Before Rubrik, cyber resilience was mostly a slide in a deck; now we can actually show our execs how fast we can detect suspicious activity, lock down impacted data, and recover safely.”"

Solutions Architect
Trace3
Phoenix, AZ
Partner BlackBelt since 2026
"I truly see how Rubrik’s CyberResiliency isn’t just tech — it’s a lifeline for our customers when cyber threats hit."

Senior Solutions Architect
Trace3
Denver, CO
Partner BlackBelt since 2026
"My biggest takeaway is that Rubrik doesn’t just help us back up data, it gives us a playbook for surviving a cyberattack and getting critical services running again without chaos."

Regional Senior Solutions Architect
Trace3
Dallas, TX
Partner BlackBelt since 2026
"What really stood out to me is how Rubrik gives us confidence that if we’re hit, we’re not stuck negotiating with attackers - we have clean, verifiable copies of our data ready to bring the business back online."

VP of Engineering
Trace3
Louisville, KY
Partner BlackBelt since 2026
"Rubrik’s CyberResiliency tools give me the confidence to tell customers ‘you’re covered,’ even against the toughest ransomware attacks."

Solutions Architect - Cyber Resilience / Cyber Security / Cyber Recovery
CDW
Racine, WI
Partner BlackBelt since 2025
"I'm not biased toward Rubrik. I've seen how the sausage is made across most of the data protection players, and Rubrik (today) is just a better platform. If a competitor catches up and surpasses Rubrik, I'll be the first to tell them. I don't see that happening anytime soon though."

Head of Offers and Alliances
Stordata
Paris, France
Partner BlackBelt since 2025
"My confidence doesn't lie in the systems that run - it lies in the plans that take over when they stop."

Director Security Consulting
Trace3
Irvine, CA
Partner BlackBelt since 2025
"Together, Rubrik and Trace3 build modern resilience frameworks, unifying recovery, identity, AI governance, and security. As threats evolve, this partnership helps organisations move beyond simple protection toward resilience as a core business capability. It is no longer just about backup; it is about ensuring our customers are prepared for what is next."
