                                                            Diana Fadel is the Founder and President of "Fondation Diane", a non-governmental organization (NGO) for the development of “Civic Awareness and Eco-Sustainable Development”.

                                                            In 1965, Diana started her philosophy studies at “École des Lettres” in Beirut.

                                                            In 1967, she married with the late Maurice Fadel and has 4 children.

                                                            In 1972, Diana co-founded with her husband, ABC department stores, and they made out of it the first shopping center in Lebanon, where she managed it for decades beside her husband, even from abroad during the civil war.

                                                            During the Lebanese civil war in 1975, she moved to Paris with her family and in 1986 at the age of 40, she continued her studies in Philosophy at “Paris X “ in Nanterre until she graduated in 1988.

                                                            In 1992, Diana came back to Lebanon. She, then, founded the “Monuments en Musique” NGO, which aims at preserving and saving important and often abandoned Lebanese heritage and iconic sites.

                                                            In 2010, she was diagnosed with 2 late stage cancer and fought against sickness for 3 complete years. She survived!

                                                            In 2012, she founded “Fondation Diane” as a response to the Civic and Ecological turmoil in which the country was and is still struggling. She believes that education, mobilization and action are the main pillars for a good citizenship. She creates:

                                                            • “Viridis Investment Fund”; a financial and deeply operational & monitoring support to green startups and SMEs.

                                                            In 2020, Diana was elected as the Chairwoman and CEO of “ABC Department Stores”. 

                                                            Diane believes in women empowerment, teamwork and positive spirit.
