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.
