For Myriam, the journey began not with a business plan, but with a passion—a deep, infectious love for food, people, and storytelling. While studying at the University of Pennsylvania, she launched a food platform called @flirtyforfood, which quickly grew into much more than just a review site. With over 700 restaurant reviews under her belt and a trademark on the word “Flirty,” she redefined the term—not as superficial charm, but as an attitude of joy and presence that elevates every dining experience.

“Flirty,” as she describes it, means going out to dinner with an amazing attitude that makes everyone excited to be present.

Through this lens, Myriam didn’t just build a brand—she built a community. Her content caught the attention of some of the culinary world’s biggest names: Mike Solomonov, Cobi Levy, Simon Kim, Santiago Perez, Sean Feeney, Stefano Secchi, James Kent, and more. What began as conversations about food blossomed into deep mentorships and friendships that would eventually help shape her career in hospitality and tech.

One of those mentors, Josh Foulquier, owner of Chez Fifi, put it succinctly:

“What sets Myriam apart is that she’s become a genuine advocate for the restaurant—personally aligning us to a high-value, well-aligned clientele. In a city where attention is fragmented, having Myriam out there battling for you with face-to-face trusted recommendations is invaluable.”

Beyond the digital world, Myriam turned her influence into real-world impact, hosting intimate dinner parties at iconic New York restaurants like Sadelle’s, Lucali, and One White Street. These gatherings weren’t just meals—they were curated experiences, drawing in food lovers, tastemakers, and industry leaders alike.

The Atlas Chapter

Today, Myriam brings that same relationship-driven magic to her role at Atlas—a members-only charge card and concierge built for high-spend individuals who demand more from their lifestyle. At Atlas, she’s more than just a technical partnerships lead; she’s a connector, a strategist, and a deal-closer.

Her ability to cultivate meaningful relationships proved essential during Atlas’s Series B fundraising, where she helped secure strategic investors—including her mentor Anton Levy as an angel backer. Whether it’s forming brand partnerships or accessing exclusive opportunities for members, Myriam’s network has become a cornerstone of Atlas’s success.

Thanks to these connections, Atlas can offer its members guaranteed tables at elite restaurants, exclusive hotel upgrades, curated invite-only events, and more. What sets the company apart from traditional black cards isn’t just the perks—it’s the authenticity and trust behind each offering.

“It’s all rooted in the trust I built years ago over countless meals and genuine connections,” Myriam says.

In a world where access is currency, Myriam’s story is a testament to the power of leading with passion, building with purpose, and staying genuinely flirty—in all the best ways.
