Ilsa Godlovitch has been Director of WIK-Consult's Brussels office since 2012. She is an expert in telecommunications regulation and policy and has led various studies for the European institutions in recent years, including support for the Impact Assessment on the EU Framework for electronic communications (leading to the proposed EU Electronic Communications Code), implementation of the Broadband Cost Reduction Directive and support for the Review of the SMP Guidelines.

From 1998-2002, Ilsa was senior policy advisor at the UK telecoms regulator Oftel. During that period, she was responsible for Oftel’s first analysis of the broadband market. Together with the UK Ministry for trade and industry, Ilsa also developed policy and negotiated on the e-Commerce Directive, 2000 EU Unbundling Regulation, and the 2002 EU Framework for electronic communications.
