Krishna Rao, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Anthropic, is at the forefront of Silicon Valley's unprecedented artificial intelligence (AI) boom.

He is tasked with steering the company through its rapid growth and massive capital requirements amid fierce competition from players like OpenAI. Just three months after being valued at $350 billion, Anthropic is reportedly set to raise $30 billion in fresh funding at a staggering $900 billion valuation. This is more than OpenAI's valuation of around $852 billion.
