Anthropic expands global leadership in enterprise AI, naming Chris Ciauri as Managing Director of International

Today we're announcing Anthropic's expanded global presence with key leadership appointments, enterprise customer momentum, and new international offices across multiple continents.

This expansion reflects Anthropic's growth trajectory and increasing international demand for Claude. Anthropic has the top market share in enterprise AI*, and our run-rate revenue has grown from $87 million at the start of 2024 to over $5 billion in August 2025—making us one of the fastest-growing technology companies in history. This momentum was reflected in Anthropic's $13 billion Series F funding round, at a $183 billion post-money valuation. Anthropic’s recent Economic Index report found that nearly 80 percent of consumer Claude usage comes from outside the United States, with per-capita usage in countries like South Korea, Australia, and Singapore outpacing that of America’s.

Building on Paul Smith's recent appointment as Anthropic’s first Chief Commercial Officer, Chris Ciauri joins Anthropic as Managing Director of International, adding to our global leadership team as we expand our worldwide presence. Chris brings over 25 years of experience scaling enterprise technology businesses globally, most recently serving as CEO of Unily, president of EMEA at Google Cloud, and EVP and GM of EMEA at Salesforce where he helped scale the EMEA business from under $200 million to over $3 billion in revenue during his decade-long tenure.

Our international growth comes at a pivotal moment when enterprises are seeking AI models they can trust—systems that combine frontier performance with the safety and reliability required to support critical business operations. Anthropic’s global customer base has grown from under 1,000 business customers two years ago to over 300,000 today—representing more than 300x growth. This growth has been driven by our leading technical talent, our focus on safety, and our frontier research, including pioneering alignment and interpretability work, all of which contribute to Claude’s performance and reliability.

Ciauri joins Paul Smith's international leadership group, working alongside Guillaume Princen as Head of EMEA, Hidetoshi Tojo as Head of Japan, and Kate Jensen as Head of Americas. Together, this team drives Anthropic's global go-to-market strategy and enterprise sales expansion across key markets.

"Business leaders understand that AI will be essential to winning moving forward. Some of the most important organizations around the world are partnering with Anthropic because they know we understand enterprise and what it takes for AI to work at scale across critical operations,” said Paul Smith, Anthropic’s Chief Commercial Officer. “Safety and trust are fundamental to everything we build—the foundation enterprises need when AI powers their business. These organizations know that Anthropic is the AI partner that's as committed to their success as they are."

Our EMEA expansion includes over 100 new roles across Dublin and London offices, plus our research-focused Zurich office, with plans to announce additional European office locations in the coming months. In Japan, we're officially opening our first Asia office in Tokyo and expanding local operations throughout the coming year.
