Richard Bird Biography
Richard Bird makes cybersecurity make sense. As Chief Security Officer at Singulr AI and a six-time C-suite technology and cybersecurity leader, Bird turns headline scares and tech jargon into clear, practical steps anyone can use to navigate the digital world safely. A global keynote speaker with roots in both Wall Street and startups, he is known for fast-paced, funny, and highly actionable sessions that help audiences protect their data, identities, families, and businesses in an AI-driven era.
His book, "Famous With 12 People," shares hard-won lessons on personal branding, public speaking, and networking delivered with the same wit he brings to the stage. A trusted voice featured by outlets like The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Bloomberg, Financial Times, CNN, and NBC Nightly News, Bird is a go-to moderator and crowd favorite for events that want substance without the stiffness. He shows people what to do, why it matters, and how to stay safe in the digital world, no tech degree required.

Richard Bird Speaking Topics
Richard Bird cuts through tech noise to show everyday people how to stay safe online, without a computer science degree. With humor, real stories, and zero jargon, he explains how criminals trick us (not just our devices), why our phones are now our wallets and IDs, and how AI in the form of voice clones, deepfakes, and scam bots has supercharged fraud. This session gives audiences a simple, repeatable playbook for daily life: smarter passwords and passkeys, settings that matter, spotting phishing emails and fake reviews, safer shopping and travel, and what to do immediately after you get hacked. Richard’s goal is empowerment: clear steps families, consumers, and small teams can take today to protect identities, money, and peace of mind.
Attendee Results:
- Recognize modern scams, including AI voice fraud, deepfakes, and QR tricks.
- Build a personal safety and recovery plan: updates, backups, passkeys/MFA, privacy settings.
- Create a family playbook for kids, teens, and elders (devices, social, location sharing).
- Shop, bank, and travel online more safely (public Wi-Fi, apps, payment choices).
- Reduce data exposure: freeze credit, tame data brokers, and manage sharing.
- Respond confidently after a breach or identity theft.
- Steps that small companies and nonprofits can take to improve security fast.
Richard Bird helps audiences get smart, not scared, about everyday AI. In plain language and leveraging understandable stories and analogies, he explains what today’s AI really is, where it helps, and where it can quietly hurt: confident-but-wrong answers, deepfakes, data oversharing, hidden bias, and “autonomous” tools that take actions on your behalf. Attendees leave with a simple playbook to choose and use AI wisely at home and at work, protecting privacy, money, our children and our reputations while still getting the benefits.
Attendee Results:
- Know what AI can (and can’t) do—and how to match use to risk.
- Spot common failure modes: confident mistakes, fake media, and manipulative prompts.
- Protect your data: what not to paste, how retention works, and safer defaults.
- Evaluate AI tools with a 6-question safety checklist (privacy, provenance, control).
- Set practical guardrails for families and teams: approvals, labeling, and record-keeping.
Richard Bird shows leaders and career professionals how to turn real-world experience into a memorable brand for themselves and to amplify the message and mission of the organizations they work for. Career growth and the opportunities created through professional branding efforts are a mystery for most people. Richard is the author of "Famous with 12 People: A Career Guide on How to be an Internationally recognized Expert in Something Nobody Cares About," a practical guide to building visibility and becoming “micro-famous” in your area of passion and focus. PR and marketing teams want great voices from within their company to represent that organization’s brand, messaging, and mission. But they also need those voices to have a personality and presence that is trusted and authentic. Richard helps executives and aspiring executives craft a straightforward narrative, sharpen their point of view, and master media moments, from boardrooms to live TV.
Attendee Results:
- Define a one-sentence personal brand focus and a 30/90-second story.
- Build a content plan (posts, bylines, talks) that promote personal authenticity and credibility
- Create a signature talk and leverage the power of sound bites.
- On-camera/on podcast skills: presence, message “bridging,” tough-question handling.
- Crisis/hot-seat tactics that keep you human and on-message.
- Upgrade LinkedIn/profile/bio for signal over buzzwords.
- Effective networking for results, not just hundreds of connections
- Understand the difference between storytelling in abstraction and storytelling in specification, and know when to use the best choice of the two
