Denise Pérez
author title Marketing Director, AI ResearchI am an AI storyteller and thought leader at Salesforce AI Research, where I shape the narrative on what’s next in AI. I help define how tomorrow’s AI is understood today. I bridge cutting-edge research with real-world impact—translating complex breakthroughs into compelling narratives for Salesforce, our CRM customers, and beyond. I’m passionate about making AI understandable, human, and impossible to ignore.
I market AI across industries and applications. I curate content on enterprise AI, agents, thought leadership, and beyond—translating emerging research into ideas that resonate. I’m especially passionate about sustainable AI and how Small Language Models (SLMs) and AI Ops can impact the environment and shape a greener future. I bring a forward-looking lens to how cutting-edge research can transform CRM, business, and the world we build next.
I am happiest on long walks with my furbaby, Bernie. I love experimenting in the kitchen, trying new recipes, and sharing great meals with friends and family.
