Anthropic 任命 Theo Hourmouzis 为澳大利亚及新西兰总经理，并正式启用悉尼办公室
Theo Hourmouzis is joining Anthropic as General Manager of Australia and New Zealand, marking the next step in our investment in the region. Hourmouzis will meet with customers and partners this week alongside executives from our global team, as we officially open our Sydney office.
Theo Hourmouzis 正式加入 Anthropic，担任澳大利亚及新西兰总经理，这标志着我们在该地区投资迈出了新的一步。本周，Hourmouzis 将与我们的全球高管团队一同会见客户与合作伙伴，并正式启用我们的悉尼办公室。
Hourmouzis brings more than 20 years of leadership experience in the technology industry across Asia Pacific to the role. He joins us from Snowflake, where he most recently served as Senior Vice President for Australia, New Zealand and ASEAN, helping enterprise and public sector organisations across financial services, retail, aviation and government move AI from experimentation to business impact. At Anthropic, he’ll lead our growing local team and shape a strategy built around Australian and New Zealand customers, bringing Claude into their most important work.
Hourmouzis 在亚太地区科技行业拥有超过 20 年的领导经验。在加入 Anthropic 之前，他任职于 Snowflake，担任澳大利亚、新西兰及东盟地区高级副总裁，曾帮助金融服务、零售、航空和政府等领域的企业及公共部门机构将人工智能从实验阶段转化为实际业务成果。在 Anthropic，他将领导我们不断壮大的本地团队，并围绕澳大利亚和新西兰客户制定战略，将 Claude 引入到他们最重要的工作中。
“Organizations across Australia and New Zealand are thinking carefully about how to adopt AI, and they want partners who take safety and rigor as seriously as they take the opportunity,” said Theo Hourmouzis, Anthropic General Manager of Australia and New Zealand. “That’s what drew me to Anthropic. I’ve spent my career working with businesses and governments across this region, and the organizations that do best with AI will be the ones that pair ambition with discipline.”
“澳大利亚和新西兰的机构正在审慎思考如何采用人工智能，他们需要的合作伙伴不仅要重视机遇，更要像对待机遇一样重视安全与严谨，”Anthropic 澳大利亚及新西兰总经理 Theo Hourmouzis 表示，“这正是吸引我加入 Anthropic 的原因。我的职业生涯一直致力于与该地区的商业和政府机构合作，我相信，那些能够将雄心壮志与严谨纪律相结合的组织，才能在人工智能领域取得最佳表现。”
Our growing team in the region will deepen relationships with enterprises like Commonwealth Bank and Quantium and with AI for Science research partners including Australian National University, Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, Garvan Institute of Medical Research, and Curtin University—while delivering on our commitments in the MOU we recently signed with the Australian government.
我们在该地区不断壮大的团队将深化与澳大利亚联邦银行 (Commonwealth Bank) 和 Quantium 等企业的合作，并加强与澳大利亚国立大学、默多克儿童研究所、加文医学研究所和科廷大学等“人工智能科学”研究伙伴的关系，同时履行我们近期与澳大利亚政府签署的谅解备忘录 (MOU) 中的承诺。
“Theo’s appointment reflects the conviction we share with the Australian government that AI can drive economic growth when it’s developed and deployed responsibly,” said Chris Ciauri, Anthropic Managing Director of International. “He’s spent decades helping organisations adopt new technology, and he’ll build the team and partnerships we need to support our customers across Australia and New Zealand for the long term.”
“Theo 的任命反映了我们与澳大利亚政府共同的信念：当人工智能得到负责任的开发和部署时，它能够推动经济增长，”Anthropic 国际董事总经理 Chris Ciauri 表示，“他花费数十年时间帮助各类机构采用新技术，他将建立起我们所需的团队与合作伙伴关系，以长期支持我们在澳大利亚和新西兰的客户。”
New local partnerships
新的本地合作伙伴关系
We recently announced deep platform collaborations with Canva and Xero. Canva will bring the power of Canva Design Engine and Visual Suite into the newly launched Claude Design by Anthropic Labs, and a multi-year partnership will bring Claude’s AI directly into Xero—and Xero’s financial data and tools into Claude.ai.
我们近期宣布了与 Canva 和 Xero 的深度平台合作。Canva 将把 Canva Design Engine 和 Visual Suite 的强大功能引入到 Anthropic Labs 新推出的 Claude Design 中；此外，一项多年期合作伙伴关系将把 Claude 的人工智能直接集成到 Xero 中，并将 Xero 的财务数据和工具引入到 Claude.ai。
We’re also working with YMCA South Australia as a Claude for Nonprofits Partner. YMCA operates across 65+ community locations with around 1,250 staff. Using Claude, YMCA SA has built custom AI skills that turn complex operational data into actionable insights, cut branded content production from hours to minutes, and brought technical work in-house that previously required external contractors.
我们还与南澳大利亚基督教青年会 (YMCA South Australia) 达成了“Claude 非营利组织合作伙伴”关系。YMCA 在 65 多个社区设有分支机构，拥有约 1,250 名员工。通过使用 Claude，YMCA SA 构建了定制化的人工智能技能，将复杂的运营数据转化为可执行的洞察，将品牌内容制作时间从数小时缩短至数分钟，并将以往需要外部承包商完成的技术工作转为内部处理。
“The future for us is about Claude becoming embedded infrastructure, a core part of how we run the organisation,” said Devan Seamans, Head of Marketing & Technology, YMCA South Australia. “That requires a platform with the enterprise governance and controls to match the obligations of a large not-for-profit. We want to be a leader in the Australian NFP space with AI adoption, and Anthropic’s approach gives us the confidence to pursue that.”
“对我们而言，未来 Claude 将成为嵌入式基础设施，成为我们运营组织的核心部分，”南澳大利亚 YMCA 营销与技术主管 Devan Seamans 表示，“这需要一个具备企业级治理和控制能力的平台，以匹配大型非营利组织的责任要求。我们希望成为澳大利亚非营利组织采用人工智能的领导者，而 Anthropic 的方法让我们有信心实现这一目标。”
