The Need
Petrobras faced a strategic challenge: managing complex operational decision-making in an environment where critical discussions, agreements, and action items from meetings were not consistently captured, structured, or traceable across the organization. No existing market solution was capable of addressing this need within the scale, rigor, and operational complexity of offshore oil platforms.
In highly regulated and mission-critical contexts, such as offshore operations, meetings are not merely conversations. They are decision points that directly impact safety, timelines, compliance, and operational efficiency. The lack of a unified, reliable way to register, track, and operationalize meeting outcomes created gaps between discussion and execution, increasing risk and reducing accountability.
Addressing this challenge required an extensive discovery phase grounded in deep user research. Structured interviews were conducted across all organizational levels, from executive leadership to frontline operational teams, to fully understand workflows, constraints, governance requirements, and how decisions made in meetings translated into operational actions.
There was a clear need for a robust, enterprise-grade platform capable of formalizing meeting records, decisions, and follow-ups while integrating seamlessly with existing planning and governance structures, including Oracle Primavera. The platform needed to support scale, auditability, and operational discipline across multiple offshore units.
Ultimately, the need was to establish a new digital foundation for decision traceability, operational alignment, and execution governance, capable of scaling across Petrobras’ offshore operations and setting a new standard for operational efficiency and user experience.
My Role and Key Results
My responsibilities:
• Led executive discovery and validation sessions with C-level leaders and offshore operational teams to map decision flows, risks, and governance gaps.
• Defined the product strategy and end-to-end decision-management vision for a mission-critical, enterprise-grade platform.
• Designed UX, UI, and interaction models to formalize decisions, action items, and follow-ups with full traceability and audit readiness.
• Orchestrated integration validation between Oracle Cloud services and Oracle Primavera, ensuring scalability and operational reliability.
• Drove end-to-end delivery from concept to implementation, aligning strategy, design, and execution governance across offshore units.
Results Achieved:
• Validated executive-level decision scenarios across Petrobras offshore operations, ensuring alignment between strategic intent and operational execution.
• Enabled the scaling of a standardized decision-tracking platform across Petrobras, improving governance, traceability, and accountability in mission-critical environments.
• Established a new benchmark for enterprise governance solutions at Oracle Global, demonstrating the effective integration of Oracle Primavera with complex operational workflows.
• Strengthened C-level engagement and adoption, positioning the solution as a trusted foundation for executive decision management.
• Delivered a scalable, audit-ready digital foundation, supporting compliance, operational discipline, and long-term efficiency across multiple offshore units.

Results
New Oil Platforms Using the System
A two-week interview process.
Throughout this extensive process, we evaluated multiple possibilities, distinguishing what was technically and operationally feasible from what was not. This iterative assessment refined the overall approach and guided the development of targeted prototypes.
Conducting Interviews Across Varied Hierarchical Levels
Led interviews across C-suite executives, directors, managers, and frontline teams to build a holistic, multi-level understanding of organizational needs.
User Experience and User Interface
A new solution was developed based on multiple pain points identified across Petrobras operations. By leveraging existing corporate APIs and applying a reverse-engineering approach, I analyzed and uncovered functional capabilities already available within the ecosystem.
These capabilities were cross-referenced with insights gathered during the discovery process, allowing us to eliminate non-viable options, validate feasibility, and define a realistic, high-impact solution scope. The initiative resulted in a successful delivery and a scalable solution aligned with operational needs.
