Mira Djelic, CSAM, has spent more than three decades at the intersection of scientific expertise and executive talent, establishing herself as one of the most productive and internationally recognized search consultants the industry has ever produced.

Her career began in the early 1990s, a period when Optoelectronics, Photonics, and Laser technology were transitioning from laboratory curiosities to the commercial engines that would power fiber-optic communications, precision manufacturing, and next-generation defense systems. Mira was there building relationships, learning the science, and placing the engineers and executives who made it happen.

Mira has been recognized as one of the top recruiters in the field of optics and photonics for more than a quarter of a century. Since 1987, Mira has worked with some of the leading firms in the industry, placing many engineers and professionals with organizations such as Intel, Avago-Broadcom, Agilent-HP, Corning, Cisco, AT&T/Bell Labs, Nokia, Neophotonics, IBM/Globalfoundries, Foxconn, OFS, FIT-Fixconn, Finisar and many others.

What makes Mira different is not a database of resumes. It is an active, living global network the product of thirty-plus years of trusted relationships with people who do not post their profiles on job boards, do not respond to cold calls from unknown firms, but who will take Mira's call.

As the Managing Director of Optics Search Group, a Shepherd Search Group Company, Mira works in diverse fields such as Optoelectronics, Photonics, Lasers and Semiconductors in the United States as well as in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Mira’s specialty is in niche and highly critical searches in differentiated technologies as well as mainstream optics. During her tenure with MRI and Optics Search Group, she has won numerous awards including as Account Executive of the Year. Mira is a certified senior account manager, fluent in several languages and is one of the most respected executive search consultants in the field of optics and photonics.
