Jean Paul Prates

Jean Paul Terra Prates is a Brazilian lawyer, economist, environmentalist, entrepreneur, union leader and politician from the Democratic Labour Party. He was Minority Leader of the Federal Senate from 4 February 2021 until 26 January 2023 when he resigned from the Senate to become CEO of Petrobras.
He remained in charge of the company until his dismissal on 14 May 2024. Prates attributed his ouster to "intriguing" within the government, after having clashed before with Mines and Energy minister Alexandre Silveira, with whom he disputed over the state oil company's policies, and reportedly having dissatisfied President Lula. He was succeeded by Magda Chambriard.
