Felipe heads the Communications team at Oxera, working across the digital, media, telecoms and postal sectors. He has extensive experience in the application of competition and regulatory economics, including in abuse of dominance cases, vertical agreements, mergers, and regulatory policy and strategy.

In the telecoms sector, he has advised companies and regulators on a wide range of issues including market reviews, pricing of fibre networks, margin squeeze assessments, bundling, functional separation, and spectrum liberalisation and trading, as well as acting as economic expert during merger reviews in fixed and mobile markets.
