Elisabetta Cafforio

Elisabetta is a Partner at Arthur D. Little, based in our Rome office, and a member of our global TIME (Telecommunication, Information, Media & Electronics) practice. 
In that position, she is leading the TIME global competence centers SASCAR (Strategic Advisory Services for Competition and Regulation) and she is also active in the Transactions and Digital Media space. 
Since joining Arthur D. Little in 2010, Elisabetta has worked on many strategic regulatory projects in different countries, for both fixed and mobile operators, included MVNOs.
She has also managed different transactional and M&A projects in the telecommunications and media, feasibility studies, business planning and go-to-market strategies (i.e., NetCo carve outs, transactions in the FWA, mergers in DTT Broadcasting, MVNOs start-ups, Private and Public NGN Fibers plans).
Elisabetta’s expertise goes from a broad 20+ years of regulatory experience to a deep knowledge of telecommunications & media industry dynamics, M&A processes, business strategy & organization, regulatory & management accounting, reporting & compliance.
Before joining Arthur D. Little, Elisabetta had another 7 years in management consulting and worked for Sky Italia as head of regulatory accounting and contracts with third parties.

Acing the regulatory exam
Acing the regulatory exam
Integrated telcos undergoing separation/asset reconfiguration must carefully balance several factors, not least of which is regulation. The regulatory benefits from asset reconfiguration strongly depend on: (1) the type of separation model being adopted, (2) strategic resolutions spelled out in the master service agreement (MSA) between separated entities, and (3) local regulations. Consequently, there must be a careful assessment at all decision-making levels to “ace” the regulatory exam.
