Neshan Der Haroutiounian is a Lebanese media personality of Armenian descent. He was born in Armenia. He graduated from Studio El Fan and won the gold medal in the category of program presenting in 1996. The death of his father, which occurred while Neshan was living in Dubai, deeply affected him emotionally as he was very attached to his father. His mother, named Bergehoyen, is a Syrian Armenian from Sweida. He has two siblings: an older sister, Sally, and a younger brother, Rafi. Since childhood, Neshan was passionate about learning and knowledge, and he is an avid reader. At the age of 18, he suffered a serious health issue that nearly cost him his life. He teaches media at the American University of Beirut and is involved in various humanitarian activities. Neshan holds a degree in Biology from the American University of Beirut, a CELTA certificate for teaching English to adults from the University of Cambridge, and a Master’s degree in the Philosophy of Communication from Switzerland.

There, he gained significant experience and fame across the Arab world by presenting entertainment and game shows on the network’s main channel and ART Variety. He returned to Beirut in 2000 when the broadcasting center moved there, and he hosted "Khallik Aal Khatt", a program that achieved great success.
