Since May 2020, Minna Vuorio is the Director of the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) and the Principal of the European School of Administration (EuSA). She is responsible for the smooth running of the Office and the School under the authority of the EPSO/EuSA Management Board.

A core part of Minna Vuorio’s 5-year mandate involves the transformation and modernisation of EPSO. The EU institutions aim to attract highly qualified, multilingual and geographically mobile professionals. Minna’s core task is to oversee the creation of a selection model that meets the institutions' need for a more balanced and flexible composition of EU’s workforce, reflecting the diversity of the European society it serves.

Minna’s career in EU institutions started shortly after her home country, Finland, joined the European Union on 1 January 1995. She worked for twenty-five years in the General Secretariat of the Council of the European Union, starting out as a translator and reviser. In 2007, she became an open source analyst of the Joint Situation Centre which reported to Javier Solana, the Secretary-General of the Council of the European Union and High Representative for EU Foreign Policy. In 2010, Minna returned to the Finnish language Unit as its Head and moved on for six months in 2016 as Head of the resources and translation support Unit. As of July 2016, she became the Director of Council’s LING1 Translation Service, including one operational and 12 language Units, with a total of about 450 staff.

Minna has three sons and is passionate about diversity, multilingualism and collaborative approaches to work.
