Show Notes
In Episode 27 of The IT Business Partner Playbook, I’m joined by Ricardo Pinto, Strategy & Portfolio Business Partner at Galp Energia in Lisbon.
Ricardo shares how his team drives value across five business units and ten geographies — balancing strategy, transparency, and trust in an industry navigating disruption.
We cover:
Strategy & Portfolio Management – charging models, KPIs, and value measurement
From Gatekeeper to Connector – evolving perceptions of BRM
OKRs & Transparency – breaking silos and boosting motivation
Career Journey – lessons from development, product ownership, and analysis
Industry Challenges – oil & gas underdogs, renewables, and investor expectations
This episode highlights how BRMs can act as connectors, building trust while enabling transformation in even the most complex and regulated sectors.
