From March 2000 to 2003, Crane worked for International Power PLC, managing the business overall and implementing its strategy. He was Executive Director from 2000 to 2003, Chief Operating Officer from March 2000 to December 2002, and Chief Executive Officer from January 2003 to November 2003.[2] During his tenure at International Power he is credited with increasing the stock value by 46%.[3]

Vision

Crane has been part of the fossil fuel industry since the beginning of his career. When NRG shifted to green energies, NRG had 3 million customers. With its "shift to green power systems [he hopes this will] keep them." He stated that given "80% of residential solar installations are done on 20-year leases, that means you’re my customer for the next 20 years. You’re not leaving."[6]

Crane lives in Princeton, NJ with his wife Isabella de la Houssaye, a corporate lawyer. The couple has five children. His eldest son, Cason Crane, was the first openly gay mountaineer to scale the Seven Summits.[7] Another son, Oliver Crane, is the youngest person to ever row across the Atlantic Ocean solo.[8]

Crane once owned Graffiti, a bar in Hong Kong, has trekked across Costa Rica and rebuilt homes in Haiti with his children.[4]
