5 Apr 2026 Lenny's Podcast Head of Growth (Anthropic): “Claude is growing itself at this point” | Amol Avasare
“It's like you have the conversion, you have activation, you have monetization.

And all org structures are not perfect and they're right for a point in time, but we're looking for what is the structure that allows us to have as much focus. Focus is a really big thing, and on audience and problems. And also, the tie-ins to cross-functional partners is really, really important. The folks on our Claude Code growth team, they work extremely closely with Cat and Boris and the others on that team. And so that tie-in is really important as well. So you've done growth at a lot of different companies, a lot of basically, let's call it traditional growth before Anthropic.
