If founders and other business leaders weren\u2019t already envious of Dario Amodei, who sits atop one of the world\u2019s fastest-growing AI companies \u2014 currently valued by private market investors at roughly the trillion-dollar mark<\/a> little more than five years after it was founded \u2014 they\u2019re going to be seriously envious now. <\/p>\n

In a new sit-down<\/a> with Bloomberg\u2019s Emily Chang, he reveals he has just one direct report; that\u2019s his chief of staff<\/a>. Everyone else on Anthropic\u2019s executive team reports to his sister, co-founder and President Daniela Amodei, who handles day-to-day operations. <\/p>\n

Anyone who has managed a large team knows that the people side of the job has a way of consuming everything else. Amodei\u2019s arrangement frees him to focus almost entirely on strategy, culture, research direction, and sweeping essays on the future of civilization<\/a> (with footnotes). \u201cIt\u2019s incredibly freeing,\u201d he tells Chang.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a highly unusual structure. OpenAI\u2019s Sam Altman reportedly has around half a dozen direct reports, which is far more standard, while Nvidia\u2019s Jensen Huang \u2014 another extreme outlier \u2014 has many dozens. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If founders and other business leaders weren\u2019t already envious of Dario Amodei, who sits atop one of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":493788,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[220,3673,218,219,48695,61,60,80],"class_list":["post-493787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-anthropic","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-dario-amodei","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493787"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493787\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/493788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
