Maria Abou Atmi

Maria Abou Atmi is a People & Culture professional most recently at Participant, where she was dedicated to making workplaces inclusive and welcoming for folks whose voices are often under-represented in entertainment. Her work focuses on empowering employees and fostering inclusive spaces for connection, engagement, and community-building through the integration of DEI principles into HR policies and practices. Originally from Beirut, Lebanon, Maria is deeply committed to advancing the representation of SWANA people in the entertainment industry. 

In addition to her work in entertainment, Maria is a rising jewelry designer whose pieces are modern heirlooms. Her designs merge contemporary aesthetics with the rich heritage of Lebanese artisanal craftsmanship, offering an exquisitely made take on accessible fine jewelry.
