Lyuba Shipovich
Lyuba Shipovich is a Ukrainian C-level IT specialist, tech entrepreneur, and civil activist who has been combining IT with volunteering since 2014. She is the founder of the Dignitas charitable foundation.
Lyuba Shipovich earned a master’s degree in Computer Science from the National University of “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.” In 2008, she moved to the United States after winning a Green Card. She worked in the field of educational IT technologies and software development, and in 2015, she was included in the list of Top 50 Women Developers in New York by Zippia.
Since 2013, Lyuba has been actively supporting Euromaidan, organizing fundraising and advocacy events in the U.S. In 2014, she founded the Razom for Ukraine NGO. In 2015, she returned to Ukraine to join the team of reformers at the Odesa Regional Administration. She led the Odesa Regional Investment Agency, initiating several digital projects such as uareformers.com and the help.odessa.gov.ua public services platform.
After returning to the U.S. in 2017, Lyuba became Vice President of a startup incubator while continuing to lead Razom for Ukraine. At that time, the organization was implementing large-scale educational and medical projects, supporting veterans, and advocating for Ukraine internationally.
In 2020, she founded the fintech company DataOcean, which operated until Russia’s full-scale invasion. That same year, she launched Veteranius, a project that helps veterans transition into IT careers. In 2021, together with her partners, she began preparations for a potential Russian invasion, and by February 2022, she was already coordinating a fundraising campaign that raised $2 million even before the war began.
After the full-scale invasion, Razom shifted its focus to military aid, raising over $65 million in 2022 alone. In 2023, Lyuba and her team established Dignitas, a foundation specializing in technological support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Key Dignitas projects include:
• “Furious Birds” – supplying Ukrainian-made FPV strike drones to the military;
• “A Thousand Drones for Ukraine” – providing reconnaissance drones to intelligence units;
• Victory Drones – the largest educational project, training over 80,000 service members in drone technology;
• Victory Robots – training operators of ground robots within the Armed Forces of Ukraine;
• “Fly” – a program for wounded soldiers that includes training in drone assembly, repair, and piloting;
• Mobile Drone Workshop – rapid repair and upgrading of drones near the front lines in mobile labs;
• Development of Ukraine’s miltech community – uniting manufacturers of robotic systems and AI-based military technologies;
• Advocacy – international lobbying for technological support of the Ukrainian army.
Dignitas has already delivered over 260 million UAH in aid to the military and continues to actively develop the military tech community in Ukraine.
