In this new episode of Season 4 of A LA LATINA, Claudia Romo Edelman and Cynthia Kleinbaum Milner sit down with Jennifer Salinas—EVP, Chief Administrative Officer, and General Counsel at Cerence AI, a global leader in automotive voice technology.
From growing up in a home marked by domestic violence to leading in one of the most competitive and fast-evolving sectors, Jennifer shares her remarkable journey of resilience, reinvention, and rising to the C-suite.
One of the most senior Latinas in the AI space, she reflects on the power of betting on yourself, navigating corporate America with authenticity, and turning pain into purpose. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: The art of knowing your value. Jennifer shares a powerful, tactical playbook to help Latinas claim their worth—personally and professionally—without losing themselves along the way. The AI revolution is now—and it's a level playing field.
Whether you're technical or not, this is the moment to become AI-literate and indispensable in your career. Your background doesn’t define you. Jennifer’s story proves that being the first in your family to graduate high school—or law school—can be the start of something extraordinary.
