PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 18, 2026--

Singulr AI (Singulr), a rising leader in AI governance and security, today announced that Richard Bird has expanded his role at the company and will now serve as both Chief Security and Strategy Officer.

The expanded role reflects Singulr’s continued focus on helping enterprises govern and secure AI as adoption moves from experimentation into production-scale, agent-driven environments. In addition to leading security strategy, Bird will help shape the company's strategy, market direction, and customer engagement as organizations confront new governance and operational challenges tied to autonomous AI systems.

“Richard has been a clear and credible voice on where AI governance is headed and what enterprises are getting wrong as agents begin to operate with more autonomy,” said Shiv Agarwal, Co-Founder and CEO, Singulr AI. “Expanding his role into ‘CSO 2 ’ formalizes the impact he is already having across our strategy, our market point of view, and how we help customers think about control, accountability, and trust in the age of agentic AI.”

“AI is forcing enterprises to rethink not just security, but how strategy, governance, and operational control fit together,” said Richard Bird, Chief Security and Strategy Officer, Singulr AI. “The responsibility of both roles reflects a broader shift happening across the industry. In an AI-driven enterprise, security isn’t a separate function; it’s a primary driver of strategy. The organizations that move fastest and most responsibly will be the ones that align innovation, governance, and strategy from the start.”

Bird is a longtime cybersecurity and enterprise technology leader with deep experience advising organizations on security leadership, governance, and business transformation. He has become a recognized industry voice on AI governance, agentic risk, and the limits of legacy security and control models in the face of autonomous systems.
