New York, N.Y. – July 21, 2015 (Investorideas.com Newswire) We are proud to announce that Mr. Michael Cohl has joined the advisory board of Viridian Capital Advisors.

Mr. Cohl has also produced live shows such as the children’s show Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! (2010 Billboard Touring Award for Creative Content) and has spent decades on and off Broadway with shows including SpiderMan: Turn Off The Dark (for which Mr. Cohl was voted Producer of the Year 2011), Rock of Ages, The Lion King, and Spamalot (Tony Award).
