Growing Our Light: Welcoming New Leadership to Unite to Light

As Unite to Light continues to expand our global impact, we’re excited to share that our team is growing here at home in Santa Barbara.

This month, we welcomed two new full-time team members who will help strengthen our ability to deliver clean, reliable solar light to communities around the world.

Kimberly Sky joins us as Development Director. A lifelong entrepreneur and mission-driven leader, Sky has founded and led multiple purpose-driven ventures and brings a dynamic combination of creativity, strategic partnership development, and an extensive international network. Our mission deeply aligns with her long-held mantra — Unite with Light — and she is already at work growing our community of supporters and expanding opportunities for impact.

We also welcome Nathan Lipps, who brings over a decade of experience in tech sales and sales enablement. Most recently at Verkada, he built and scaled onboarding and training systems that supported hundreds of new hires and drove measurable performance results. With a systems-focused mindset and a passion for team building, Nathan will help strengthen our operational capacity as we continue to scale. Based in Santa Barbara, he and his wife are raising their four children here and are grateful to contribute locally while serving communities globally.

As we look ahead to 2026, we remain committed to building resilient power solutions for health clinics, midwives, students, and families who need light most. Strengthening our team at home allows us to deepen our impact abroad — and we’re grateful for this community’s continued support in helping us light the way.
