Chris Ciauri Joins Anthropic as Managing Director for International Expansion

Anthropic, a leading player in the enterprise AI sector, has announced the appointment of Chris Ciauri as the Managing Director of International, as part of its strategy to bolster global leadership and meet growing international demand. This move comes amid Anthropic’s rapid expansion and increasing global presence, particularly driven by the success of its AI model, Claude.

Expanding Global Footprint

Anthropic’s expansion is marked by significant enterprise customer growth and new international offices across multiple continents. The company has seen its run-rate revenue surge from $87 million in early 2024 to over $5 billion by August 2025, following a substantial $13 billion Series F funding round, which valued the company at $183 billion. According to Anthropic, its Economic Index report indicates that nearly 80% of Claude’s consumer usage originates outside the United States, with countries like South Korea, Australia, and Singapore leading in per-capita usage.

Leadership and Strategy

Chris Ciauri brings over 25 years of experience in scaling enterprise technology businesses globally. His previous roles include CEO of Unily, President of EMEA at Google Cloud, and EVP and GM of EMEA at Salesforce, where he significantly grew the business. At Anthropic, Ciauri will work alongside Paul Smith, Chief Commercial Officer, and other regional leaders to drive Anthropic’s global strategy and enterprise sales across key markets.

Enterprise Growth and Innovation

Anthropic’s international growth is driven by the need for reliable, safe, and high-performance AI systems. The company’s customer base has expanded from under 1,000 businesses two years ago to over 300,000 today. This growth is attributed to Anthropic’s commitment to safety, technical talent, and pioneering research in AI alignment and interpretability.

Impact Across Continents

The impact of Anthropic’s AI solutions is evident across various industries and regions. In Europe and Asia-Pacific, organizations like NBIM and Novo Nordisk have reported significant productivity gains and operational improvements. In North America, companies such as United Airlines and TELUS have leveraged Claude to enhance customer service and operational efficiency.

Anthropic’s expansion plans include over 100 new roles in Dublin and London, with additional office locations in Europe and Asia, including a new office in Tokyo. This expansion aligns with the company’s commitment to providing reliable AI solutions for mission-critical operations worldwide.
