MEET THE TEAM

Co-Founder / CEO

Alina Lubensky

Alina was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine and moved to Kyiv when she was 17. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, she came of age as part of the first generation that called Ukraine a country of their own and witnessed firsthand the Orange Revolution of 2004, having lived steps away from Maidan. As a director of a large firm with offices across the country, Alina has traveled extensively in Ukraine and came to know and love many locations which have now become the theater of war. In 2010, she married her former classmate, Sergei, and the couple made their home in Northern California, where they currently reside with three kids and four pets.

Sergei spent half of his professional career as an engineer (working on projects in ballistic missile defense at Raytheon) and found two startups: in technology and medical instrumentation.
