Marifil Rodriguez’s security career began during her post-secondary education, when she attended military school. “But if you ask my brother, he would say that even as a young child, I always really liked protecting those under my care, especially him whenever there were bullies who would pick on him,” Rodriguez says.
Rodriguez is the Director of Security for Capital One — Philippines, responsible for ensuring safe environments for Capital One employees and contractors in the region and taking into account regulations for individual countries across a number of continents. This includes factoring in working hours for different time zones and health guidelines during the pandemic. As countries all had different COVID-19 policies, Rodriguez was responsible for ensuring employee safety as well as regulatory compliance for Capital One’s international locations. Rodriguez is also a member of the Manila, London and New Delhi Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) chapters.
