Daniela Amodei is a co-founder and the President of Anthropic, where she runs the company's operating functions: finance, legal, human resources, recruiting, communications, and policy operations. She is one of the seven co-founders who left OpenAI in 2020–2021 to start the company, and is frequently the named executive in Anthropic's enterprise and go-to-market announcements.
Background
Before Anthropic, Daniela Amodei held VP-level roles spanning operations and people/HR at OpenAI. Earlier she worked in risk and operations at Stripe during the payments company's high-growth period. Before moving into technology she worked in global-health nonprofit work and as a congressional staffer. Her career has been in operations and people functions rather than research or engineering.
Role at Anthropic
As President, Daniela Amodei is the executive accountable for Anthropic's operations as a company at scale. Anthropic projected second-quarter 2026 revenue of roughly $10.9 billion and its first operating profit. Her remit covers corporate operations and finance, including the mechanics of Anthropic's repeated funding rounds and compute commitments; legal and policy operations, the institutional side of the company's regulatory engagement, distinct from the substantive policy positions associated with Dario Amodei; and people and culture, including recruiting and retention in the AI talent market and maintaining the company's public-benefit-corporation culture. She is frequently the named executive in Anthropic's enterprise and market-expansion announcements, including the Claude for Small Business launch, where she was quoted as the launch voice ((Source: anthropic.com)).
Dario Amodei, her brother, is Anthropic's CEO and leads research direction; Daniela Amodei runs the operating side. The CEO/President sibling pairing is the company's core leadership structure.
