Sturgeon Consulting
Fractional Engineering Leadership, On Demand.
Senior engineering management, without the full-time commitment. Fractional and hourly engagements for healthcare and regulated-industry organizations that need experienced leadership now.
The experience of a VP of Engineering or Director of Software, scoped to what you actually need. Embedded with your team on a part-time or project basis — no full-time headcount required.
Deep domain knowledge in healthcare IT: Medicaid, ACA marketplace, CMS, FedRAMP. Understanding the regulatory and compliance landscape is table stakes here, not a learning curve.
Not Agile-as-ceremony. Iterative delivery, clear team ownership, and the discipline to inspect and adapt. Built from scratch at a Medicaid payer, an airline, and a federal contractor.
