Trailblazer established model for private sector economic security programs, and is regarded as one of Japan’s foremost thought leaders on economic security

Salt Lake City, UT (May 14, 2025)  – Strider Technologies, Inc. the leading provider of strategic intelligence, today announced that Takashi Ito, former Corporate Executive of Mitsubishi Electric, is joining the company as an Advisor. In this role, Ito will help guide Strider’s continued expansion to meet with growing economic security demands of organizations throughout Japan.

“Ito-san is a pioneer in the field of economic security and a respected voice in Japan’s corporate landscape,” said Greg Levesque, CEO and Co-Founder of Strider. “His leadership in building the country’s first economic security program within a private sector organization has set the standard for others to follow. We are honored to welcome him as an Advisor to Strider, and we look forward to working together to enhance our economic security solutions that help Japanese companies strengthen their resilience and protect their strategic assets.”

“I am delighted to have the opportunity to work with Strider,” said Ito. “Economic security in the corporate sector is, at its core, about strengthening the resilience of industrial value chains. This encompasses not only the supply chains for materials and services, but also the critical issue of with whom essential technological information is shared—and how that information is managed. Many companies recognize the importance of this issue, but most are unable to find concrete ways to achieve it. I hope that my expertise and experience in the field of economic security, together with Strider’s solutions, will help provide meaningful and practical answers.”

Takashi Ito is the former Senior General Manager of the Corporate Economic Security Division at Mitsubishi Electric. This division was recognized as Japan’s first dedicated economic security department within a private company when Ito established it in 2020.

Ito received his law degree from Keio University in Minato, Japan.
