– Carlos Ragazzo has been General-Coordinator for Antitrust Affairs at SEAE (Ministry of Finance) since 2003.

– Olavo Chinaglia is a specialist in economic law and has been working as an antitrust lawyer since 1998.

– Vinícius Carvalho is Chief of Cabinet at the Secretariat for Human Rights (Ministry of Justice) and has worked at CADE at the department in charge of monitoring CADE’s decisions.
