chairman and CEO of the Houston Natural Gas Company.

By the time energy was deregulated in the 1980s, Lay was already an energy company executive and he took advantage of the new climate when Omaha-based InterNorth bought his company Houston Natural Gas and changed the name to Enron in 1985.

He was also a member of the board of directors from 1993 to 2001 of Eli Lilly and Company
