Olivier Salles joined EPSO as its new Director on 16 May 2025.
A French citizen, Olivier holds Master’s Degrees in International Relations and Political Sciences from the Universities of Sorbonne and Lyon II.
In a career spanning over 30 years as EU civil servant, he brings a wealth of experience to EPSO in policy coordination, legal and management functions.
He has held diverse roles in HR, finances, (communication) legislative work across several Commission services. Having acted as Administrative Director in newly set up EU bodies such as the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) and the European Public Prosecutors’ Office (EPPO), Olivier is used to embracing demanding new projects.
He is thus ideally positioned to navigate the challenges facing EPSO and to ensure it fulfils successfully its mission as the trusted partner in selection procedures for the EU institutions.
Anna Mitelman joined the ‘EPSO family’ in January 2023, as Head of the European School of Administration (EuSA).
Anna has 10 years of experience managing Learning and Development (L&D) as Head of Unit for Human Resources (HR) in the European Committee of the Regions, where apart from L&D and talent management she was also responsible for many other HR fields such as Rights & Obligations, Medical and social service, traineeships and more.
She is committed to lifelong learning herself and is convinced that organisations that understand this and invest in L&D will always be one step ahead. Her vision for the School is to make sure that EuSA is, and always remains, a centre of innovation and excellence.
Anna lives with her husband and two teenage sons in Brussels.

Tony’s professional career started in the private sector with four years in London, UK, followed by another four years in Arnhem, NL, working in the information management and retrieval industry. He then moved on to the public sector, joining the IT department of the European Commission’s ‘DG AGRI’ back in 1992, where he was entrusted with a portfolio of IT systems supporting the Common Agricultural Policy, and the assessment of Member States’ readiness with bovine tracking while the BSE (mad cow) disease was raging. After eight years at ‘DG AGRI’, Tony moved to the European Commission’s ‘DG HR’, joining their Recruitment service. This unit later merged into what is now the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO), where Tony wore multiple hats related to resource management, especially in the IT area. Today, he leads proudly the Corporate services unit at EPSO, ensuring a robust back-office for the office’s critical activity. Outside of work Tony is a family man, married with four children and proud of his four grandchildren.
