Anthropic expands global leadership in enterprise AI, naming Chris Ciauri as Managing Director of International (www.anthropic.com)

Anthropic announced a major international expansion, naming Chris Ciauri as Managing Director of International to join an expanded global leadership team and support new offices across EMEA and Asia (Dublin, London, Zurich, Tokyo and more). The move accompanies dramatic commercial growth—run-rate revenue jumped from $87M at the start of 2024 to over $5B by August 2025, a $13B Series F at a $183B post-money valuation, and customer count rising from under 1,000 to over 300,000—while Anthropic claims top enterprise AI market share and that roughly 80% of consumer Claude usage is outside the U.S. For the AI/ML community this signals accelerating enterprise adoption of frontier models that prioritize safety, interpretability and steerability. Anthropic highlights Claude being used as an “agentic engine” across industries with concrete productivity and impact metrics—NBIM’s ~20% productivity gains, the European Parliament’s multilingual access to 2.1M documents, Novo Nordisk’s 99.9% reduction in clinical documentation time, SK Telecom’s 34% customer-service quality improvement, Rakuten’s 79% cut in feature dev time, and TELUS/United Airlines operational wins. The expansion underscores demand for models that combine high performance with alignment and reliability, reinforcing enterprise requirements for auditability, local presence, and product-safety engineering as AI scales globally.
