ARI Donor Roundtable: Interview with Energy Entrepreneur Bud Brigham

With more than thirty years of entrepreneurial and operating experience in the oil and gas industry, Mr. Brigham has founded seven companies, three of which have had successful IPOs, and three have been sold for total proceeds of over $8 billion. He is currently executive chairman of three private energy companies with more than $1 billion under management, as well as Atlas Energy Solutions, which went public on the NYSE in 2023, and which is currently the largest proppant producer and logistics company in the United States. In the latest ARI podcast, we feature an interview with Mr. Brigham at a recent ARI Donor Roundtable, usually available exclusively for donors. The discussion covers his fascinating career path, his encounter with Ayn Rand’s ideas, and how they have influenced him in his life and in business—including especially in his recent opposition to ESG and DEI practices in the energy industry.
