Anthropic Leadership Team

As of — • Version 0

Overview

Anthropic is an American artificial intelligence safety company founded in 2021 by siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, along with six other former OpenAI researchers. The company is structured as a public benefit corporation (PBC) and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Anthropic develops the Claude family of AI assistants and is one of the leading AI research organizations globally. In February 2026, the company closed a $30 billion Series G funding round at a $380 billion post-money valuation, led by Coatue and GIC [s1][s2][s17].

The leadership team combines deep expertise in AI research, safety, and scaling with experienced operators from major technology companies. Eight co-founders remain actively involved in the company. Since late 2024, Anthropic has significantly expanded its executive ranks with hires across finance, product, commercial, infrastructure, and security functions—including a new CTO, Chief Commercial Officer, and CISO—as the company prepares for a potential IPO and scales toward an annualized revenue run rate of approximately $14 billion [s1][s3][s18].

Your task is to update a living document. The document is at: __SELF__ This file is a polyglot HTML/bash file structured as follows: - Above window.stop(): browser-visible content (article, CSS, JS, manifest) - Below window.stop(): machine-readable zone (update contract, source cache, changelog) Read the update contract (the JSON block with id="oo-contract") — it contains your complete instructions: the subject, research intents, required sections, quality thresholds, source policy, and output format rules. Check the oo-manifest "as_of" field for when this document was last updated. If empty, this is a first run — research everything. If it has a date, focus your research on new information since that date. Use the Edit tool to modify specific parts of the file in-place. Only modify:
content, oo-manifest, oo-source-cache, oo-changelog. Do NOT touch CSS, JavaScript, the shell preamble, or structural HTML outside
. IMAGES: The contract may have an "images" section. If images are allowed: - Find relevant images via web search (official sites, wikimedia, press kits) - Download with: curl -sL "" -o /tmp/oo_img_N.ext - Verify it is an image: file /tmp/oo_img_N.ext - Resize (preserve format — keep PNG for transparency, JPEG for photos): macOS: sips --resampleWidth /tmp/oo_img_N.ext --out /tmp/oo_img_N_r.ext Linux: convert /tmp/oo_img_N.ext -resize x /tmp/oo_img_N_r.ext - Check size: if over max_file_kb, reduce further or skip - Encode: base64 < /tmp/oo_img_N_r.ext - Embed as:
