In this episode of Cleary Gottlieb’s Antitrust Review podcast, host Nick Levy is joined by Olivier Guersent, Director-General of the EC’s Directorate-General for Competition.

Over a 30-year career at the EC, Olivier has been at the centre of antitrust enforcement and policy.  A former Director of Mergers and architect of the EC’s Leniency Program, he has served in the private offices of Commissioners Karel Van Miert, Michel Barnier and Neelie Kroes, and, before taking his current role, was Director-General of the EC’s Directorate-General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union.

Nick and Olivier discuss a wide array of issues, including the state of the EU, merger and cartel enforcement, and Big Tech.
