Anthropic names Korea lead before opening Seoul office
Anthropic, the company behind Claude, has appointed KiYoung Choi to lead its Korea business. The company says Korea is one of the heaviest Claude markets compared with its population size. A Seoul office could mean more local support for Korean companies, developers, and makers using Claude.
Key points
- Anthropic says Koreans use Claude at more than 3.5 times the expected rate for the population size.
- KiYoung Choi previously worked in Korea leadership roles at Snowflake, Google Cloud, Adobe, Autodesk, and Microsoft.
- The Seoul office may make Claude sales, customer support, and business partnerships more active in Korea.
