Charles "Chuck" Watson was the founder of The Natural Gas Clearinghouse. Later renamed Dynegy, the firm was a highly diverse energy trading company that was similar to rival Enron in many respects. Watson attempted to orchestrate a buyout of Enron in late 2001, but withdrew following the restating of Enron's financials.

Watson left Dynegy in late 2002 when Dynegy's own finances took a turn for the south amid allegations of accounting frauds, misconduct in the California energy crises and other serious problems. He was replaced by Bruce Williamson.

Watson, an Oklahoma State University - Stillwater alum, and member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, is principal of Caldwell Watson. He is currently minority owner of the Houston Aeros, and has a minority stake in the Houston Texans, where he chaired Houston's 2004 Super Bowl host committee.
