Anthropic, the U.S. AI company behind the Claude chatbot, said on Monday it would create more than 100 roles in Europe, including in Dublin and London, as it appointed Guillaume Princen as its Europe, Middle East and Africa head.
The company, which is backed by Amazon (AMZN.O), and Google (GOOGL.O), said the jobs would be in sales, engineering, research and business operations, mainly across its Dublin and London offices.
Princen, who previously led Stripe's European expansion and was CEO of expenses management platform Mooncard, said the growth in Europe and the UK came at a critical moment when businesses needed advanced AI capabilities.
Claude, which competes with OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, has been deployed by companies such as ad group WPP, automaker BMW (BMWG.DE), and pharma firm Novo Nordisk (NOVOb.CO), Anthropic said.
Anthropic raised $3.5 billion last month at a $61.5 billion post-money valuation in a funding round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Bessemer Venture Partners, General Catalyst and other new and existing investors.
