"Tom's exceptional record of leading established businesses in new directions and successfully starting new ventures aligns perfectly with Reliant Energy's competitive business model," said Jason Few, president, Reliant Energy. "His demonstrated ability to innovate and lead combined with his deep understanding of energy increases our ability to flexibly meet the needs of our customers."
"With Tom's leadership of our professional sales organizations, Reliant is better positioned to fully leverage the benefits of being part of NRG, one of the largest power generators in Texas and the United States, and to bring the benefits of NRG's low- and zero-carbon solutions - including wind, solar, nuclear and biomass generation - to our customers," Few continued.
Gros has more than 20 years experience in high-profile business development, strategic planning, energy and commodity trading, and risk management. Most recently as Managing Director of Strategic Solutions for Tradition Energy - one of the world's largest energy management advisors to commercial, industrial and governmental organizations - he led the effort to leverage the company's wholesale market strengths to successfully differentiate their global retail operations. Before joining Tradition he was Acting CEO of PriceLock, an innovative start-up offering motor fuel risk management programs.
From 2002 to 2007 he held positions of increasing responsibility at Reuters, focusing on commodity and energy information. In his earlier career he founded and led a stand-alone corporation owned by Enron that developed and successfully commercialized software solutions for commodities markets. Gros has bachelor's degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology and an MBA from the Sloan School at MIT.
"I am excited to have the opportunity to lead Reliant Energy's sales effort as we develop strategies, products and services to meet the energy needs of all of our customers - from the largest and most energy intensive to the residential consumers who make up the vast majority of our customers," said Gros. "Texas' competitive retail market offers opportunities for innovations that will give customers a better understanding of their energy use so that they can make informed decisions about how to manage and use electricity."
