Brian Hedstrom
Brian is an AI-driven enterprise, solution, system and software architect with 30+ years modernizing OSS/BSS, network and service automation, product and service lifecycle platforms, and standards-aligned digital infrastructure for telecom, cable, broadband, fiber and data center environments.
As Founder and Principal, he grounds every engagement in the principles that have defined OAM since 2012 — information, interfaces and processes — connecting business strategy to executable architecture through domain modeling, API-first integration, workflow automation, and service lifecycle design.
His recent leadership includes Director of Systems & Enterprise Architecture at Zayo, leading target-state architecture for fiber, network and data center inventory, NaaS, product catalog, contract lifecycle and IT asset management — using LeanIX for portfolio governance and introducing agentic AI workflows that cut architecture research and documentation cycle time by more than 50%.
Brian is currently a Solution Architect with Amdocs supporting Charter Core Data Services and the Charter–Cox integration, driving API validation, system integration testing, architecture-to-test traceability, and agentic AI workflows for spec-driven test automation. He has contributed to TM Forum, Mplify, CableLabs, ONAP, ONUG, SCTE and Linux Foundation initiatives.
