Cuéllar brings a diverse background as a former California Supreme Court justice, White House adviser, Stanford scholar, and president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The hire comes amid significant tensions with Washington: the Pentagon blacklisted Anthropic as a supply-chain risk after the company refused to allow Claude models for autonomous weapons use, prompting a lawsuit. The Trump administration also imposed — then lifted — export controls on two Anthropic models after the company agreed to security commitments. ## Content Anthropic has appointed Mariano-Florentino (Tino) Cuéllar as its first chief global affairs officer, a newly created role focused on government relations and international policy. He reports to president Daniela Amodei. Cuéllar's background spans a lot of the territory the job demands. He served as a California Supreme Court justice, worked as a White House adviser, taught at Stanford, and most recently served as president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He also helped lead California's Frontier AI Working Group, whose recommendations fed into SB 53, the state's frontier-model transparency law. He's been on Anthropic's Long-Term Benefit Trust since January; the Trust will pick his replacement through its normal process. The timing isn't subtle. Anthropic has had a rough stretch with Washington. The Pentagon designated the company a supply-chain risk after it refused to allow Claude to be used for autonomous weapons. Anthropic sued over that blacklisting. Then the Trump administration briefly imposed export controls on its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models before lifting them after Anthropic agreed to certain security commitments. So the immediate pressure is mostly domestic, even if the role is framed around global affairs. Bringing in someone with Cuéllar's mix of judicial, diplomatic, and national security experience suggests Anthropic is treating policy as a core executive function rather than a communications afterthought. --- Tags: [#anthropic](https://daily.dev/tags/anthropic), [#ai-governance](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-governance), [#ai-regulation](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-regulation) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-hires-tino-cu-llar-as-first-chief-global-affairs-officer-amid-pentagon-dispute-sqohibmlc) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Anthropic hires Tino Cuéllar as first chief global affairs officer amid Pentagon dispute","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-hires-tino-cu-llar-as-first-chief-global-affairs-officer-amid-pentagon-dispute-sqohibmlc","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-hires-tino-cu-llar-as-first-chief-global-affairs-officer-amid-pentagon-dispute-sqohibmlc"},"datePublished":"2026-08-05T05:39:59.687Z","dateModified":"2026-08-06T03:09:00.014Z","description":"Anthropic has hired Mariano-Florentino (Tino) Cuéllar as its first chief global affairs officer, a newly created role focused on government relations and...","image":"https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HO74ApLacAAdZTu.jpg","thumbnailUrl":"https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HO74ApLacAAdZTu.jpg","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Collections","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Collections","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--fk_6ycEi--/f_auto,q_auto/v1780996001/logos/collections?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-hires-tino-cu-llar-as-first-chief-global-affairs-officer-amid-pentagon-dispute-sqohibmlc","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":4},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"anthropic,ai-governance,ai-regulation","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Collections","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Anthropic hires Tino Cuéllar as first chief global affairs officer amid Pentagon dispute"}]} ```
