David Crane wants his personal legacy to be a commitment to sustainability. Since becoming President and CEO of NRG Energy, the largest solar power developer in the country, Crane has led its transformation from a regional wholesale generation business to a national, Fortune 250 energy company. NRG now has enough generating capacity to power 42 million homes. NRG's clean energy efforts include repowering and retrofitting older coal plants and building the nation's largest privately funded network of electric vehicle fast-charging stations.

Prior to joining NRG Energy, Crane served as CEO of International Power PLC, a United Kingdom-based wholesale power generation company. He also served as a Senior Vice President in the Global Power Group at Lehman Brothers.
