Dave Keane-Mirajkar

Dave Keane-Mirajkar is the senior director of solutions architecture for Aurora Networks. He has been in the Service Provider business since the late 1980’s. A UK national by birth, educated in England, he began his career at British Telecom in the electromechanical era of Telephone Exchange Switching. A short tenure at Cable and Wireless was followed by his first senior role at what has become Virgin Media, a national Cable Operator, where his notable achievements included the rollout of the first national UK IP/ATM network and Cable Broadband infrastructure in the late 1990s. This was followed by other notable achievements in the SP Cable space with the “Analog to Digital” transition, the forerunner to the interactive Digital TV we enjoy today.

From working in the service provider space to supporting service providers, David enhanced his career by moving to Cisco Systems in 1999, where he supported the Cable/MSO industry in EMEA, drawing on his previous experience. In 2013, David took on a role at a US startup as a Distinguished Consulting Engineer, where he gained valuable experience positioning Casa Systems as a new entrant in an already established CCAP/CMTS marketplace.

After rejoining Cisco in 2013, holding various Technical, Business, and Market management roles, he further enhanced his career by moving to the then-named ARRIS (now CommScope) in 2018, where his experience complemented CommScope’s support for MSOs transitioning to “Cloud Native” networks, architectures, and solutions. David and his wife, Sandra, live in Weybridge, UK. He is a very keen follower of West Ham United (soccer) and, time permitting, a keen private pilot.
