Anthony Jan Michael Meggs CB is a British petroleum industry executive and former civil servant, currently serving as the Chairman of Crossrail,[1] and formerly as Chief Executive of the Infrastructure and Projects Authority, jointly part of the Treasury and the Cabinet Office.[2]

Meggs worked at BP in a number of roles, eventually as their Head of Technology until leaving in 2008, after which he worked for other companies including Talisman Energy, and co-chaired an MIT study on the future of natural gas.[3][4]

Meggs was appointed as Chief Executive of the Major Projects Authority in the Cabinet Office in mid-2015, before his organisation was merged with the Treasury's Infrastructure UK body to form the Infrastructure and Projects Authority from 1 January 2016.[5][6] As of September 2015, Meggs was paid a salary of between £190,000 and £194,999, making him one of the 328 most highly paid people in the British public sector at that time.[7] He left the IPA in January 2019 to become Chairman of Crossrail when that project ran into difficulties, replacing Sir Terry Morgan.[1] He was succeeded at the IPA by Matthew Vickerstaff on an interim basis, and by Nick Smallwood in July 2019.[8]

Meggs was appointed Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in the 2019 Birthday Honours.[9]
