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<\/div>\n
