Crossrail Ltd

There were significant changes to the executive team and board during 2018 to strengthen Crossrail Ltd's capabilities:

• The Crossrail Board approved the appointment of a new executive management team during late 2018. The sponsors also approved the appointment of the chair and chief executive.

• Crossrail Ltd's current Board of Directors is chaired by Tony Meggs, previously the Chief Executive of the Infrastructure and Projects Authority, following the resignation of Sir Terry Morgan in December 2018.

• The new Chief Executive, Mark Wild, was previously a non-executive member of the Crossrail Board and has been appointed on secondment from his role as Managing Director of London Underground.

• Three members of Crossrail's Board have been with the project for more than one year (Figure 9).

The sponsors have increased their representation on Crossrail Ltd's Board to increase scrutiny and support transition to operations:

• The Board now includes two non-executive directors nominated by the Department.

• TfL now has two appointed non-executive nominees on the Board.

• Up to mid-2018, each sponsor only had one nominated non-executive member on the Board.
