Strider Announces Cliff Huntington as Chief Revenue Officer; Jeff Schwartz as Chief Client Officer
Organizational alignment will support Strider’s community building efforts while continuing to accelerate growth
Salt Lake City, UT (May 5, 2026) – Strider Technologies, Inc. (“Strider”), the leading provider of strategic intelligence, today announced the appointment of Cliff Huntington as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). The company also announced that Jeff Schwartz has been named Chief Client Officer, reflecting a continued focus on scaling growth while strengthening client engagement and community.
Huntington brings more than 15 years of experience building and scaling global revenue organizations across enterprise software, security, and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) markets. In his role as CRO, he will lead Strider’s global revenue organization, aligning go-to-market strategy to support continued growth and ensure global organizations across industry, government, and academia have access to the strategic intelligence needed to understand and manage nation-state risk.
“Cliff has a proven track record of building high-performing teams and translating complex capabilities into clear client value,” said Eric Levesque, President and Co-Founder of Strider. “Organizations are experiencing an ‘economic security moment’—a structural shift where industry, government, and academia are considering geopolitical risk a core input in decision-making. Cliff’s experience scaling revenue operations and aligning teams around client outcomes will strengthen our ability to deliver clarity and support confident decision-making in this economic security moment.”
Prior to joining Strider, Huntington held numerous senior leadership roles at OneTrust, the industry leader in privacy, data, and AI governance solutions. While at OneTrust, he played a key role in scaling and operationalizing OneTrust’s global go-to-market organization, driving significant expansion and maturation of several businesses and functions. Earlier in his career, Huntington held leadership roles at ServiceNow and RSA Security, where he built and led global sales and go-to-market organizations, launched and scaled identity and governance, risk and compliance (GRC) businesses, and supported enterprise clients across dozens of countries.
“I’m excited to join Strider at a time when organizations are reevaluating how they approach and manage risk,” said Huntington. “Throughout my career in risk management, geopolitical risk was often an area where operational and enterprise risk programs struggled to gain traction or deliver actionable insight. This was doubly true with nation-state risk. Strider’s approach to strategic intelligence provides a strong foundation to help clients close that gap and make more informed decisions, and I look forward to building on that momentum.”
As part of this organizational alignment, Jeff Schwartz has been appointed Chief Client Officer, an executive role that reflects the accelerating focus on Strider’s community-building efforts, deepens client relationships, and ensures organizations maximize the value of Strider’s strategic intelligence platform.
“Jeff has played a central role in building Strider’s growth engine and expanding our market presence—enabling us to serve clients in 16 countries around the world,” Levesque said. “Over the past six years, he has developed strong, trusted relationships with our clients that are critical to this next phase for Strider. His focus on building and strengthening our client community will further enhance how we support organizations over the long term.”
“Strider’s growth has always been grounded in our relationships with clients,” said Schwartz. “Over the past six years, I’ve had the opportunity to build strong connections with the leaders whom organizations rely on to protect critical assets and navigate complex risk environments. I’m looking forward to deepening those relationships, strengthening our community, and ensuring clients continue to gain meaningful insight and clarity from our platform.”
Together, these leadership updates reflect Strider’s continued investment in both growth and client experience—ensuring the company remains focused on delivering strategic intelligence that enables organizations to navigate complexity with confidence.
