What Briljent does

Briljent is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, founded in 1998 by Kathy Carrier. The company delivers training and organizational development consulting to state and federal government agencies, Fortune 500 corporate clients, and educational institutions.

The underlying capability set rests on instructional design methodologies, change management frameworks, PMP-certified project management, and domain expertise in Medicaid Enterprise Systems (MES). Briljent positions itself as "Medicaid's first and only Training Integrator," providing integrated training across multi-vendor modular MES implementations for state Medicaid agencies. The firm has delivered more than 3 million training hours to tens of thousands of learners, served 16 Fortune 500 companies, helped clients secure over $1 billion in federal funding support over three years, and operates across all 50 U.S. states and 6 territories.

Revenue is generated through project-based consulting engagements with government and corporate clients, delivered via direct enterprise sales, RFP processes, contract vehicles, and the AWS Marketplace. Pricing is custom/quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm maintains offices in Fort Wayne (headquarters), Indianapolis, and Chicago, with 101–250 employees. As an LLC owned by its founder, Briljent has remained privately held and bootstrapped throughout its 27-year operating history, with no external funding rounds, acquisitions, or public-market filings.
