Dual role reflects Singulr’s focus on pairing AI governance, security, and market strategy as enterprises scale agentic AI
Singulr AI (Singulr), an emerging player in AI governance and security, has announced an expansion of responsibilities for Richard Bird, who will now hold the dual position of Chief Security and Strategy Officer.
This leadership evolution underscores the company’s commitment to aligning AI governance, security, and strategic direction as enterprises transition from experimental AI deployments to large-scale, agent-driven systems. Alongside overseeing security initiatives, Bird will play a central role in guiding Singulr’s broader business strategy, market positioning, and customer engagement efforts, particularly as organizations address the growing complexity of governance and operational control in autonomous AI environments.
“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 ‘CSO2’ 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.”
The expanded role reflects a broader industry shift, where AI adoption at scale is driving tighter integration between security, governance, and enterprise strategy. Bird’s appointment positions him to influence how organizations approach these intersecting priorities as they operationalize AI systems with increasing autonomy.
“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 brings extensive experience in cybersecurity and enterprise technology, having advised organizations on security leadership, governance frameworks, and digital transformation initiatives. He is widely recognized for his perspectives on AI governance, agentic risk, and the limitations of traditional security models when applied to autonomous systems.
