Daniela Amodei, President and co-founder of Anthropic, stated that EMEA has been central to their vision from the beginning. She expressed her excitement about the expansion, saying, "We're thrilled to have Guillaume join our team as we continue to grow our presence in Europe. His commitment to responsible innovation and deep understanding of the EMEA market make him a natural choice to lead Anthropic's expansion in this region."

Since launching Claude in Europe last year, Anthropic has seen rapid organic growth amongst businesses and consumers alike. Important shareholders of Anthropic include venture capital firms such as Andreessen Horowitz and Founders Fund, with significant funding rounds since its founding in 2021 raising over $1 billion from top-tier investors including Sam Altman and other tech leaders. Anthropic’s financing primarily comes from major Silicon Valley investors specializing in AI and deep tech startups.
Anthropic recently expanded its European footprint with the opening of a research-focused office in Zurich earlier this year, led by AI scientist Neil Houlsby. The company's expansion is not just about growth but also about serving its customers better and contributing to the responsible development of AI in Europe.
Consumers, particularly tastemakers, are drawn to Claude for its certain je ne sais quoi in conversation and thoughtful design. With its expansion, Anthropic aims to bring this unique offering to more European markets.
