Ukrainian-American activist and volunteer, active member of the Ukrainian diaspora, organizer of numerous volunteer initiatives, co-founder of Razom for Ukraine, organizer and coordinator of procurement and delivery of material support and training, IT expert, one of the Dignitas Ukraine founders.

As part of the Dignitas Fund leadership team, Lyuba is the driving force behind our organization’s strategic direction. She helps shape our long-term vision for defense technology in Ukraine, military-tech support for Ukraine, and targeted assistance to frontline units and veterans. In recognition of her work at our organization, we consider her one of the notable female leaders in Ukraine’s military support community and one of the most influential Ukrainian women in tech and defense.

Before Lyuba became a Revolution of Dignity activist in 2014, in Ukraine, which became a symbol of our foundation, she worked for a long time as an IT specialist in the US, already having many years of experience as a Ukrainian tech entrepreneur. In the 2010s, she became an active member of the diaspora supporting Ukraine and helped organize volunteer initiatives abroad. The work in the diaspora marked the beginning of her path as a Ukrainian volunteer activist. The combination of technical knowledge and civic activism is the basis of Lyuba Shipovich’s biography.

Even before the emergence of the modern Dignitas charity in Ukraine, Lyuba was already deeply involved in volunteer networks. She first became a Razom for Ukraine co-founder, where she gained experience in creating initiatives for fundraising, procurement, and humanitarian aid, which became critically important in the early years of the war. Her first steps in such significant organizations eventually earned Lyuba a reputation as a Ukrainian humanitarian & military support volunteer. Today, she remains a prominent voice in media and public discussions, and any Lyuba Shipovich interview consistently highlights the importance of coordinated logistics, transparency, and smart technology support for Ukrainian defenders.

By 2023, Lyuba’s path as a volunteer had led her to co-found our organization as a modern Dignitas charity in Ukraine dedicated to tech-driven assistance. Thanks to her, drone support for Ukraine is growing in capacity and attracting foreign partners. Our leadership team has made Dignitas a reliable partner in military-technical support for Ukraine, focused on needs that directly improve security and operational capabilities.

The public role of Lyuba Shipovich is significant; she is frequently referenced in the media as a Ukrainian miltech activist, a Ukraine war volunteer, and an innovator who bridges the gap between civilian technology and defense needs. As Ukraine becomes increasingly recognized in international discussions on resilience, Luba’s work at Dignitas promotes modern means of defense, better coordination, and long-term veterans support in Ukraine.
