Our Leadership
Whitney Luckett and Yana Malyk, Co-Founders of Ukraine Power, came together with a shared urgency that quickly became action.
Malyk brings deep ties to Ukraine, rooted in lived connection and on-the-ground understanding. Luckett brings the reach and logistics strength of her global supply chain company, Simko North America.
Together, they are channeling support to vulnerable communities impacted by the war, turning coordination into tangible relief where it matters most.
Leadership

Yana Malyk
Yana Malyk was born in 1987 and lived most of her life in Svatovo, Luhansk Region, Ukraine. Yana is married to Dmytro Malyk and has two daughters, Liza (18) and Ulia (13). Both Yana & Dymtro’s parents are still in Ukraine.
Yana has multiple academic degrees including a Masters in Finance and a second in Governmental Administration. Before fleeing Ukraine, Yana owned 6 businesses. She donated time and resources to the resistance movement during the 2014 occupation of Crimea. She was awarded a medal from the Government of Luhansk for her public service and dedication to service in honor of the people of Ukraine.

Whitney Luckett
Whitney Luckett is an energetic innovator who leads Simko North America with her head and Ukraine Power with her heart. The hallmark of her 40-year tenure in commodities has been doing business differently — she’s a disruptor, if you will, who lives her values, personally and professionally. This has made her an unparalleled leader in customer-centric supply chain and logistics management in the rubber and chemicals industries as well valued contributor on the board of several non-profits. When the war broke out in Ukraine in 2022, she asked herself – what can you do to help? and Ukraine Power was the eventual answer.
Board of Directors

Holly Flores
Holly Flores has been a member of the Ukraine Power Board since 2025 and is deeply committed to advancing the organization’s mission through service and advocacy. A U.S. military veteran and financial advisor, Holly lives by the belief that a life well lived is defined by how much we give back to others.
As an active Rotarian with the Colorado Springs Rotary Club, Holly has been inspired by the powerful truth that meaningful change often begins with the compassion and generosity of a single person. This perspective shapes her contributions both professionally and within the community.
The war in Ukraine is not only a global crisis for Holly—it is personal. With family directly affected by the conflict, she understands the profound need for action. While the work ahead is significant, Holly is unwavering in her belief that every family and every child deserves the chance for safety, stability, and a hopeful future.

Amy Hill is a creative, values-driven collaborator with a passion for community building, event planning, program design, and leadership development. She has a long-standing commitment to global connection and cultural exchange, having spent a year in Germany as a Rotary Youth Exchange student and recently working on Semester at Sea. Though she grew up believing her family immigrated to the U.S. from Italy, she later learned they first immigrated to Italy from Ukraine, making her work with Ukraine Power deeply personal.

Marc Luckett

He stays closely engaged with daily developments in Ukraine and brings an informed, thoughtful perspective to the board’s work.

Ed Ward
Ed joined the Ukraine Power Board of Directors in January 2024 and has played an active role in fundraising and community outreach. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Ed was deeply moved by the suffering in the country and chose to contribute through direct, in-person support. Since the start of the war, he has traveled to Ukraine twice, assisting primarily with the acquisition and distribution of food.
Ed’s international experience stems from a 29-year career in the U.S. Air Force, including assignments in Vietnam, Europe, and the United States. He retired with the rank of colonel.

That experience has fueled her commitment to Ukraine. An entrepreneur, Dree is the founder of Denver-based Drizzle Digital, and she brings a background in technology strategy and digital marketing to the board. Outside of work, she gravitates toward outdoor adventure, plays the drums, and has little patience for bullies — which is exactly why she’s here.

Hollie Wieland
Hollie Wieland serves on the board of Ukraine Power, bringing legal expertise, nonprofit experience, and a lifelong commitment to representing victims of injustice. Her support for Ukraine is also personal, shaped by Ukrainian ancestry on her father’s side and inspired by Yana and Whitney’s dedication to the organization’s mission.
An attorney with extensive experience in civil rights, employment law, compliance, litigation, and nonprofit governance, Hollie brings valuable perspective to Ukraine Power’s work. Her background supporting nonprofits, advising boards, and navigating complex legal and compliance issues helps strengthen the organization’s ability to grow responsibly while serving Ukrainians affected by Russia’s war.
