Warren Whitson
Vice President Development
I spent many years at a large utility, and I have seen first-hand how experience shapes the decision-making that moves a company forward. At Viridon, we distinguish ourselves from our competitors through our experience. We have put together the best in the business from across our industry, and that has given us the deep understanding needed to deliver innovative solutions that meet the needs of our customers.

Viridon is proud to be a portfolio company of Blackstone. This partnership not only provides us with access to critical capital needs, but also leverages Blackstone's industry expertise and deep relationships to gain access to resources that other companies in our industry cannot as easily attain. This allows us to be highly effective and price-competitive from the jump.
Chad Newhouse
Vice President Regulatory
