A Fortune 1000 company, Dynegy is the second largest independent generator of electricity in the U.S. It operates twenty-six thousand megawatts of power generating facilities in eight states. This past June, Bob Flexon celebrated a remarkable five years as CEO of Dynegy.

He joined Dynegy in June of 2011 and within his first year led the company through orderly bankruptcy proceedings. Prior to the end of year two, Dynegy acquired the power generation assets of Ameren in St. Louis for nine hundred million dollars.
