Dr. Mira Brancu was born in Romania when it was under a communist government. At six years old, her family emigrated to the U.S. as Jewish political refugees. Mira needed to learn English and navigate a new culture. She credits this early experience as providing the foundation for her strong observational skills and her ability to understand people’s nuanced behaviors and make deep connections.

Over the course of her career, Mira developed a keen interest in how various dynamics, such as relationships, groups, organizations, and societal factors, impact successful outcomes. She started her career as a school counselor, then focused on clinical psychology for her doctoral degree, and served as chief of operations and in other leadership roles across several industries, including healthcare, academia, federal government, and schools. As Mira deepened her understanding and applied her accumulative knowledge, she grew as a leader, supporting her teams and organizations.

Today, Mira is the founder and CEO of ​Towerscope​, a social impact consulting firm that helps executives and their teams navigate complex systems, develop strategic thinking and processes, to work effectively with individuals, teams, and organizations. To this work, she brings 20-plus years of experience, including a leadership career at the US Department of Veterans Affairs and a faculty appointment at Duke University.
