Having spent 28 years in investment banking, Lange brings to our board of directors strong experience from working primarily with clients in the utility, energy, renewables and industrials segments. Before his retirement from Barclays in 2024, he advised his clients on how to successfully navigate industry, market, financial, technological and regulatory challenges through strategic positioning; mergers and acquisitions; investor positioning; financial management; and equity, debt, and structured financings in the public and private markets. Over the years, he demonstrated his leadership expertise as the global head of the Power, Utilities and Renewable Energy Group; Natural Resources Group; and Industrials Group. He spent considerable time working on energy and industrial transformation to a lower-carbon economy, which included analysis of new energy technologies, raising capital for new energy technology companies, advising clients on investor positioning, helping identify opportunities and challenges associated with the energy transition, and devising action plans to better position companies to maximize shareholder value. He also served as a key contributor to energy and utility industrywide advisory bodies, having been a member of EPRI’s (the Electric Power Research Institute) Advisory Council and co-chair of the Wall Street Advisory Group for the Edison Electric Institute. Lange contributes significant financial and energy industry experience to our board as a member of the Finance Committee.
