Minna Vuorio, EPSO’s current director, will end her five-year mandate on 15 May 2025, according to plan. Minna oversaw an ambitious transformation process at EPSO that led to the introduction of a faster, more modern, and more efficient competition model. After the end of her EPSO mandate, Minna will return to the Council of the European Union, her institution of origin, where she will continue to work on innovative HR projects.

On the occasion of the announcement by the European Commission of the appointment of the new EPSO director, Minna Vuorio said:

“I’m happy that a new director has already been appointed to carry our work forward. This will ensure a smooth transition process. Olivier Salles is a colleague with a solid professional background, and I wish him all the best in his new job. I’m ready to support him as needed.”
