Halpern CEO & Chairman Jack Halpern has consistently been recognized as one of Atlanta’s most powerful leaders in Atlanta Magazine’s annual “Atlanta 500.” The esteemed list honors the city’s most influential people committed to its enduring growth and long-term success.
I’m flattered to see my name on a list of Atlanta’s “Most Powerful Leaders,” since “powerful” isn’t how I’d describe myself. I think I’d be more appropriately included on a list of Atlanta’s “Most Grateful Leaders,” since I say “thank you” every day for the many blessings in my life.
Whatever “power” I have is simply a reflection of the wonderful people from whom I’ve had the good fortune to learn over the years, including
- My father, who built a successful life and business in America, his adopted country
- My loving parents, who modeled ethical values and how to put them into practice
- My wife, Lynne, my children and grandchildren, who add balance and purpose to my life
- My colleagues at Halpern Enterprises, who help our family business to flourish and grow
- My involvement with non-profit causes, adding meaning and perspective to my world
- The many friends who have enriched my life immeasurably over the years
Thanks to Atlanta Magazine for this recognition and to all those who helped me along the way.
– Jack Halpern
