People with judgment. Room to build.

We’re a team of builders making business radically simpler, with communications infrastructure that developers and AI agents can put to work.

People from the Bird team together
Different places. A shared ambition.The people behind Bird

Close to the problem. Responsible for the result.

Our team works across disciplines, locations and time zones.

Engineers work on the networks and APIs. Product and design make those systems understandable. Customer teams bring the realities of running a business into the work. We share responsibility for the outcome.

We give the person closest to a problem room to make the call. Evidence can change a decision, regardless of who brings it. And we use agents in our own work, learning from the same shift we’re building for.

How we work together

His focus is on what happens when AI moves from generating answers to taking action, and on building the infrastructure that makes that possible at global scale.

Previously, Robert was CEO and cofounder of mobile payments platform Zaypay. He is also a cofounder of the People for People Foundation.

The way we work

Direct the machines.

We build tools that let agents operate Bird, and we work with agents ourselves. Human judgment sets the direction, challenges the result and takes responsibility for what ships.
