Ben Goodfriend

Ben’s connection to BYkids began during a sophomore-year internship, and the organization’s mission — building cross-cultural understanding and compassion through storytelling — has stayed with him ever since.

During a study abroad program in Buenos Aires, Ben made a documentary film as his capstone project and fell in love with the medium. That experience shaped his path into the entertainment industry, where he went on to work at The Daily Show with Trevor Noah before joining WME, where he supported an agent at the intersection of documentary filmmaking and sports.

Today, Ben works at the intersection of sports, technology, and advertising as VP of Business Development at FanServ. He lives in Brooklyn with his fiancée Elise and their dog Aspen.
