Overview

Daniela Amodei is Co-Founder and President of Anthropic, an AI safety company she co-founded with her brother Dario Amodei and several other former OpenAI employees in December 2020. As President, she oversees Anthropic's business operations, commercial strategy, enterprise partnerships, and policy engagement. Dario Amodei serves as CEO and leads the technical research side of the organization.

Amodei's background is in operations, recruiting, risk management, and people programs — first at Stripe (2013–2018) and then at OpenAI (2018–2020). She left OpenAI in 2020, citing concerns about the pace of AI commercialization and disagreements about safe AI governance. At Anthropic, she has overseen the company's commercial growth from its founding through a series of major fundraising rounds and the expansion of its enterprise customer base.

As of February 2026, Anthropic's post-money valuation stands at $380 billion following a Series G round, and the company reports a run-rate revenue of $14 billion. Approximately 85% of Anthropic's revenue derives from business customers.
