Anthropic last week announced the appointment of Chris Ciauri as Managing Director of International, alongside plans for new international offices across multiple continents. The expansion reflects increasing global demand for Claude, Anthropic's AI system.
Anthropic's run-rate revenue has grown from $87 million at the start of 2024 to over $5 billion in August 2025. The company recently completed a $13 billion Series F funding round at a $183 billion post-money valuation. Anthropic holds the top market share in enterprise AI, according to Menlo Ventures' 2025 Mid-Year LLM Market Update.
Ciauri brings over 25 years of experience scaling enterprise technology businesses globally. He most recently served 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.
Anthropic's global customer base has grown from under 1,000 business customers two years ago to over 300,000 today. The company's 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 America's.
Ciauri joins Anthropic'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 under Chief Commercial Officer Paul Smith.
EMEA expansion includes over 100 new roles across Dublin and London offices, plus a research-focused Zurich office, with additional European office locations planned. Anthropic is officially opening its first Asia office in Tokyo and expanding local operations throughout the coming year.
Documented enterprise deployments include: NBIM achieving approximately 20% productivity gains equivalent to 213,000 hours; the European Parliament deploying Claude for 2.1 million historical documents; Novo Nordisk reducing clinical documentation time by 99.9% from 10+ weeks to 10 minutes while cutting review cycles by 50%; SK Telecom improving customer service quality by 34%; Commonwealth Bank of Australia reducing customer scam losses by 50%; and Rakuten cutting feature development time by 79% using Claude Code.
The leadership appointments and office expansions position Anthropic to serve growing international enterprise demand. Paul Smith, Anthropic's Chief Commercial Officer, stated: "Business leaders understand that AI will be essential to winning moving forward. Some of the most important organisations 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."
Chris Ciauri noted: "The global demand for Claude is extraordinary—from financial services in London to manufacturing in Tokyo, enterprises are trusting Claude to power their mission-critical operations."
