Jacquelyn Halpern

Jacquelyn is a curious, creative, and currently leads Product Design and AI at Salesforce’s Trailhead. Her journey in design, deeply intertwined with a fascination for technology, began at a young age. This passion has led her to collaborate on exciting projects with leading companies such as Netflix, Apple, Accenture, Meta, and Indianapolis’s own Eli Lilly. In recent years, Jacquelyn has immersed herself in the world of generative AI. Her exploration goes beyond understanding how this technological revolution will shape our future — she’s also discovering how it intersects with art and creativity to forge new possibilities. Today, her life is intricately woven with AI, as she focuses on harnessing its potential to revolutionize learning and education.
