Today at Inprosec Human Capital we introduce you to David Torres, our SAP Business Line Department Manager, who has been proving his worth for more than 9 years, helping us to grow day by day.
What is your role at Inprosec?
I am currently the Head of the SAP Business Line Department.
What would you highlight about your role within the company?
We have a year with many challenges within the area, from the formalization of products to facilitate the learning of employees who join the team, such as the implementation of R & D initiatives for the SAP Department. At the same time, we are going to invest heavily in updating and improving the Laboratory, which will help us a lot in the R&D area I mentioned earlier.
What has Inprosec meant to your professional career?
I really believe that joining this team has been the best decision of my professional life without a doubt. Inprosec provides me with everything I need from a professional point of view: challenges, responsibilities, decision making, a fantastic team of colleagues with whom you learn something every day. . .
How do you manage to balance personal and professional life?
In this respect, Inprosec gives me a lot of facilities. I have the option of working from home, although I only use it when I have to spend many hours on a task. A flexible schedule allows me to reconcile family and professional life, so if I need to be out of work in the morning, the company does not prevent me from doing so. I believe that the human side of Inprosec is taken care of on a day-to-day basis.
What do you value most about working at a company like Inprosec?
The challenges, the satisfaction of a job well done, the appreciation of the whole team of colleagues, if you have a problem you always have someone to lend a hand and of course the Friday breakfasts!
Tell us an anecdote that stood out to you during your time at Inprosec.
I’ve been with this company for more than 9 years and I have a lot of funny anecdotes, however, spinning with the theme of the human side, when I was a newcomer I made a pretty serious mistake in one of the few clients we had at that time and Iago, the company’s CEO, focused more on making me understand what I had done wrong so that I could correct it than on giving me a hard time about the “shit” I had done.
As an employee of a cybersecurity-focused company, what advice would you give to any entrepreneur starting out regarding their systems?
I think I’m gonna pull a story from a couple weeks ago. I was with my partner looking for some pictures from a trip to Prague we made a couple of years ago and unfortunately there were only about 20 pictures. My partner told me it was impossible and that we had taken out a lot more. I knew I had a backup and when I went to check it out, there was nothing! I had lost the photos, however, I knew that I had made a second backup in case the flies were there and finally they were there. I know it’s a simple example, but taking it to the business level, think of the hours spent on dozens of key files and systems, believing that you have a backup and that when you really need it, it doesn’t work!
What are your hobbies after the workday?
It depends on the day, if it rains, then it’s standard time and a blanket on the sofa. Other days I go to the gym to let off some steam. In the summer, a night walk with the boss playing “Pokemon Go”.
Who do you “nominate” for us to interview next and why?
Jose Martin, aka Martin aka Josito Martin, and I nominate him because he has been with the company for quite some time and can tell some funny anecdotes, and I want him to know that it’s not worth the “God’s luck” story.
