Anthropic has roped in former Stripe executive Rahul Patil as its new chief technical officer, as the Claude maker ramps up its team.

"I am excited to join a new mission and calling—Anthropic!," said Patil in a LinkedIn post.

"AI possibilities seem endless, and it is going to be an extraordinary adventure of discoveries and effort to make these possibilities real," he added.

Prior to this appointment, Patil was CTO at Stripe, which he had joined in 2020 as head of infrastructure.

Earlier, Patil has worked at tech giants including Oracle, Amazon and Microsoft.

His appointment comes as Anthropic is expanding its team and pushing its international expansion.

Last month, Anthropic appointed Chris Ciauri as Managing Director of International. Most recently, Ciauri was serving as CEO of Unily. Earlier, he was president of EMEA at Google Cloud, and EVP and GM of EMEA at Salesforce.
