On October 1, 2016, Lisa Trifiletti launched her own consulting firm to provide strategic land use, environmental, entitlement, real estate, transportation, project management, and governmental/public outreach consulting for private sector development projects and governmental agencies. Lisa’s 20 plus years of experience with complex public infrastructure, transportation projects, and updates of governmental planning documents make her a known expert in the field.

Prior to her transition into private consulting, Lisa Trifiletti worked for the City of Los Angeles for 11 years. She led the entitlement of the 340 acres of LAX property without any community opposition and was quickly promoted to LAWA’s Deputy Executive Director of Environmental Programs. She was responsible for all environmental planning and engineering, entitlement applications and environmental documents for all proposed projects at LAWA airports and properties, including the LAX Midfield Satellite Concourse, Terminals 1 and 2/3, West Aircraft Maintenance Project, and all other aspects of the LAX Modernization Program. She directed the activities of Environmental Performance, Environmental Regulatory Compliance, Environmental Planning and Engineering, Entitlements, and Environmental Clearances for LAWA’s three airports and Palmdale land holdings. In her new role, Ms. Trifiletti oversaw seventy-five professional staff and multiple consultant contracts. In addition to serving as LAWA’s Chief Sustainability Officer, Ms. Trifiletti led her division as LAWA’s key project manager responsible for inter-agency coordination and championed the coordination with Metro regarding light rail construction projects near LAX. She helped lead the environmental clearance and entitlement approvals for the 6-billion-dollar LAX Landside Access Modernization Program.

Since leaving LAWA, she has led the planning, entitlements and program management for the Inglewood Transit Connector Project, securing almost $2 billion in local, state and federal transit funding. She has led major modernization plans for investment in Television City and Radford Studio Center, numerous mixed use and affordable housing and institutional projects in Los Angeles, and currently advises the County of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles World Airports, Burbank Airport, LA Metro and San Diego Association of Governments. These projects demonstrate her ability to understand, coordinate and deliver successful results for complicated interdisciplinary multi-jurisdictional efforts, emphasizing consensus and collaborative planning.
