Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says he spends a third to 40% of his time working on the company’s culture. He described the approach in a February interview on the Dwarkesh Podcast, according to Fortune.
Amodei said his focus is on making sure employees understand Anthropic’s mission, enjoy working there and are pulling in the same direction. With the company’s workforce at 3,500, he said he cannot weigh in on every technical or product decision.
He holds a company-wide meeting every two weeks, where he discusses topics including product strategy and the AI industry. Amodei also uses Slack to respond to employee questions and share his thoughts, Fortune reported.
The focus on culture comes as Anthropic prepares for a possible public listing as early as next month. Fortune reported that the IPO could value the company at as much as $2 trillion. Anthropic told investors this week that third-quarter revenue increased 50% to $16.8 billion and that it was profitable on an adjusted basis, the Financial Times reported.
