Andy Spurgeon is responsible for implementing corporate strategy and managing CTC’s day‐to‐day operational activities as well as providing strategic support for CTC’s clients in financial analysis and program management. Andy is particularly focused on helping our clients navigate federal and state funding opportunities for broadband.

Having served as Chief of Operations at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), Andy is particularly knowledgeable about grant program planning and the award, implementation, and oversight of broadband infrastructure and digital inclusion initiatives.

Andy’s work includes advising state broadband offices on grant program design, implementation, and compliance activities associated with federal programs including the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, Digital Equity Act programs, the Enabling Middle Mile Broadband Infrastructure program, and the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) and Capital Projects Fund programs.

Andy is also familiar with the architecture and delivery of geospatial applications and systems from his experience at NTIA leading the design and implementation of the National Broadband Availability Map. He supports geospatial analysis and modelling for the BEAD program for multiple states, including Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Oregon.

In his decade-long tenure with NTIA, Andy was involved in the development of much of NTIA’s approach to broadband grant programs, including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other complex areas of federal policy. Andy led due diligence review of more than $3 billion in grant applications and $1.2 billion in awards—including leading the review and evaluation of materials to ensure grantee compliance with NEPA and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) for the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP).

In this capacity, he supported grantees during their consultations with federal management agencies (such as the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPO) in numerous states.

Andy also has extensive experience in senior business development roles, where he was responsible for strategic planning, organizational restructuring and change management, financial analysis, and program management. He is familiar with public and private infrastructure funding, including public subsidy, bonds and tax credits, and private equity / venture capital financing.
