Viridian

The team behind Viridian boasts a bevy of deep industry ties and Bay Area roots. Co-Founders, William Tsui, Raymond Gee, Jeremy Chiu, and Alison Kwan were inspired to create Viridian by their passion for hospitality and connection to their Asian-American heritages. Bringing over 10 years of bar experience to Viridian, William spent the majority of his career in fine dining, most recently at Lazy Bear, where he was the Bar Manager. Raymond was formerly the bar manager and assistant general manager of Oakland’s Noodle Theory Provisions and also tended bar at Hakkasan San Francisco. Jeremy was part of the founding management team at Shinmai in Oakland and International Smoke (Mina Group). Alison brings years of world-class bartending and management experience, including a tenure as Venue Manager at one of New Zealand’s most premier bars and nightclubs.
