Brigita Larson (MBA, CM) is Program Director, Lead Mediator, and Major Project Manager at Seventh Sovereign, where she advises large-scale infrastructure projects on reducing project-delivery, permitting, and stakeholder risk. Her work spans right-of-way, power transmission, transportation, and hydro-electric development, with current leadership responsibility for projects across the West Coast (Washington, Oregon, California) and the Northern Rocky Mountains (Idaho, Montana).
Brigita brings more than 25 years of experience delivering natural resource and infrastructure projects in partnership with Tribal governments, project developers, and regulatory agencies across the western United States. In the early 2000s, she assumed leadership of a multi-generational forestry, timber, and contracting enterprise grounded in long-standing collaboration with the Kootenai and Salish Nations and federal and state agencies. During a period of heightened environmental scrutiny and litigation risk, she helped guide projects through conservation agreements while maintaining schedule discipline and delivery certainty.
Her work is distinguished by an ability to align Tribal engagement, regulatory compliance, and commercial objectives, enabling projects to advance in complex political, cultural, and environmental settings. She is frequently engaged where unresolved stakeholder issues pose material risks to project timelines and outcomes.
Brigita holds an MBA and BA in Native American Studies from the University of Montana, focused on dispute resolution and large-scale project risk management. She is a Certified Mediator for State Court property and ROW disputes and has a graduate certificate in Natural Resources Conflict Resolution from the Center for Natural Resources and Environmental Policy. She earned an advanced certification from Harvard Law School’s Program on Negotiation, and has specialized training in Tribal Commercial Law and Finance through an award from the John Templeton Foundation.
