About

Teddy Goitom

Talent is universal and borderless, but opportunity and access are not. Teddy Goitom has made it his mission to bridge this gap, championing creatives of African descent and democratizing opportunities across the globe.

With over 25 years of international experience, Teddy's journey spans the production of high-quality, branded video content, establishing pioneering platforms for creators, and the curation of international art exhibitions. Notably, the Afripedia platform, a groundbreaking search-based resource, won the best digital platform at the Swedish Design Awards in 2020. As co-founder of Stocktown and Afripedia, Teddy has showcased and connected talent to opportunities worldwide.

His work has been showcased on Swedish Television, BET, and inflight entertainment for KLM and Ethiopian Airlines, and featured at over 100 international film festivals. Teddy has also worked commercially with clients like IKEA, MTV, PUMA, Soundtrack Your Brand, W Hotels, and culinary celebrity Chef Marcus Samuelsson.

Currently, Teddy works as an executive producer and runs a talent advisor agency, where he continues to connect top talents with the right clients and projects. His agency focuses on creating opportunities for diverse creatives, ensuring that every voice is heard and every talent has a chance to rise, while shaping a more inclusive world.
