Daniela's public role
As President, Daniela oversees Anthropic's business operations, sales, policy engagement, and organizational growth. She has been the public face of Anthropic's enterprise strategy and government relations, speaking at major conferences on responsible AI deployment and building institutional trust.
She has emphasized that scaling an AI safety company requires the same operational rigor as scaling the technology itself — maintaining culture, governance, and safety commitments through rapid growth from 30 to 1,000+ employees.
