Bryant Herrman
Two decades building platforms at enterprise scale. Now AI strategy for founder-led firms.
The best solutions are built by people who understand technology. Mission-critical systems are built by people who know how technology fails.
Bryant spent nearly two decades inside enterprise IT, most of it at Kaiser Permanente, with earlier stops at PricewaterhouseCoopers and a consulting firm he co-founded. He built and ran platforms used by hundreds of thousands of people, ran operations in a regulated environment where the change and access controls underneath were tested by external audit every year, and shipped some of the first enterprise generative AI before the industry had settled on a name for it.
The through-line across every role: architect solutions that minimize change to the systems and processes already working. That judgment, sharpened at enterprise scale and pressure-tested against the newest technology on the planet, is what Merivant brings to founder-led firms now.
A few highlights
- Directed a three-year, multi-million dollar cloud migration at Kaiser that cut major incidents 92 percent and returned multi-million dollar savings.
- Ran IT service management for a regulated health system held to SOX control standards, owning the change and access processes that external audit tested every year.
- Shipped one of the first enterprise generative AI services for a regulated environment, with governance wired into the intake, serving 275,000 end users.
- Co-founded Reliapoint and built an analytics platform for a class-action case that stood without challenge against a Big Four firm on the other side.
- Grew into Technology Manager for the U.S. Southwest region at PwC, having started on the help desk.
- Since founding Merivant, built 20+ systems hands-on: agents, compliance platforms, governed memory, and full-stack applications.
That accumulated judgment is what you get when Merivant builds something for you. Not advice from someone reading whitepapers. Working software written by someone who has run the platforms underneath, and who still builds them personally.
