Mojo Vision Expands Advisory Board by Adding Dr. Waguih Ishak
Mojo Vision, the high-performance micro-LED platform company, announced the appointment of Dr. Waguih Ishak to its advisory board. Mojo Vision is applying its advanced micro-LED technology towards the development of high-speed optical interconnects for AI infrastructure. The addition of Dr. Ishak to the board will bring decades of leadership experience in photonics and optoelectronics to support the company’s efforts.
The announcement builds on the news of Mojo's recent $75M Series B funding and positions the company to deploy its technology across high-growth markets, including AI data centers and next-generation AI glasses.
With a career spanning five decades at some of the world’s most influential technology companies, few names carry as much weight in the field as Dr. Ishak. He has held senior leadership roles that have shaped the industry’s trajectory, including vice president and chief technologist at Corning for 16 years, vice president and chief technology officer of Avago Technologies (Broadcom), and nearly three decades as vice president and director of the Photonics Research Lab at Agilent/HP, where he led breakthrough advances that set new standards in the field.
Dr. Ishak has also shaped the next generation of engineers as an Adjunct Professor at Stanford University, where he founded the Stanford Photonics Research Center (SPRC) in 1999. His contributions have been recognized worldwide, earning him the distinction of IEEE Life Fellow and election to the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, the Canadian Academy of Engineering, the Royal Academy of Engineering (UK), and the Royal Society of Canada’s Academy of Sciences. Dr. Ishak received the IEEE Photonics Society Industry Achievement Award in 2024 for “enduring, transformational and strategic global leadership in the development, promotion, and introduction of photonic products including commercial VCSELs and the computer laser mouse.”
Dr. Ishak joins fellow advisory board member Dr. Rajeeva Lahri, a distinguished veteran of the Semiconductor Industry with a proven track record of introducing new technologies to the market, along with representatives from Mojo Vision’s strategic customers, further strengthening the company’s foundation of experience and expertise. “Advisory boards are critical for guiding companies through pivotal technology and market transitions,” said Dr. Lahri. “Adding a visionary leader like Dr. Ishak amplifies Mojo Vision’s credibility and strengthens its ability to scale its platform into the markets that need it most.”
