Aline began her professional journey at just 18 years old as an insurance broker, financing her own university education. She graduated from Université Saint Joseph with a double Master’s degree in Finance and Marketing. Her entrepreneurial drive led her to build IIC (Insurance & Investment Consultants) into one of Lebanon’s top brokerage firms.

‍
Yet, beyond finance, Aline’s true calling was always rooted in food and in her Armenian heritage. In June 2003, she founded Mayrig, an avant-garde Armenian restaurant that reintroduced the forgotten flavors of Mother Armenia to Lebanon and beyond. Mayrig quickly became synonymous with refined
Armenian cuisine and heartfelt hospitality.
