Product Owner

Lucas Duarte

I connect business, people and technology to turn real problems into digital products that create value.

About me

I was born in Camaçari, Bahia, Brazil. I started my career in procurement, where I learned to turn the needs of different teams into clear requirements, negotiate with suppliers and make sure deliveries solved the right problem.

In 2023 I moved into tech and built a broad technical foundation: web development, databases, infrastructure and project management. Since 2024 I have been a Product Owner at NVGO, leading digital products end to end, from discovery and requirements to delivery validation and client training.

What sets me apart is moving comfortably between business, UX and technology: I turn requirements into prototypes, talk to engineering and infrastructure on equal terms, and use data and AI to make better, faster decisions.

Key contributions
  • Applied AI to prototyping to bring technical and UX decisions forward, reducing rework and delivery time.
  • Optimized digital journeys and internal workflows, backed by usage data and analytics.
  • Took part in system modernization and the evolution of developer tooling, improving productivity, cost and technical quality.
