Ipshita Chakraborty

Ipshita Chakraborty is a data science and AI leader with 15+ years of experience building analytics functions from the ground up and scaling them across complex, global organizations. She began her career in financial services at HSBC and Fidelity Investments, building her foundation in statistical modeling and machine learning. She then moved into enterprise consulting where she designed predictive and personalization systems for companies like Tesco, Johnson & Johnson, Target, and Norwegian Cruise Line - work that sharpened her instinct for connecting data science to real business decisions, not just interesting outputs. Most of her recent work has been in consumer businesses. At Harry's, she built the analytics and experimentation stack during the company's shift from DTC to omnichannel retail, fundamentally changing how the business thought about media allocation across channels. At HelloFresh, she leads a global data science and AI organization across 18 markets, owning the experimentation engine and production ML systems for churn, fraud, and customer retention. She also led one of HelloFresh's first in-house GenAI initiatives: a Voice of Customer (VoC) platform built on a production-grade LLM inference pipeline that processes over 1 million customer signals monthly. Recognized as an AI100 honoree at MachineCon New York 2026 and a featured speaker at CDO Magazine's New York Summit, Ipshita is also a founding board member of the AI Advisory Council for Retail Women in Tech, where she works to accelerate AI literacy and practical adoption for women across the retail industry through peer learning and applied programming.
