Sajan has spent 17 years in the telecom industry, working across fiber and fixed wireless networks, large-scale systems architecture, and the operational realities of running and scaling service providers.
He has worked directly with network operators, retail service providers, municipalities, utilities, and infrastructure-backed fiber platforms. Over the course of his career, he has led greenfield builds, brownfield transformations, and both pre- and post-acquisition technical consolidations. His experience includes converting traditional retail ISPs into wholesale and open access models and designing the systems required to support them.
Sajan has deep hands-on experience implementing TM Forum APIs in production environments, with a focus on interoperability, automation, and operational scalability. His work spans wholesale ordering frameworks, provisioning orchestration, service location data architecture, and multi-tenant OSS/BSS design. He is known for translating real-world operational constraints into practical system architecture that works at scale.
As Vice Chair of the ATIS Open Access Network initiative, Sajan brings a practitioner perspective to standards development. He is focused on addressing the lack of consistency that forces open access deployments into bespoke, high-cost integrations. His goal is to help establish clear, pragmatic standards that reduce friction and enable repeatable, scalable shared infrastructure models across North America.
