About this listen

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.
