Nicolas Mouawad Joins The Qode’s Newly Launched Talent Elevation

Following his recent triumph at the Joy Awards, where his series Salma was named Favorite Levant Series, Nicolas Mouawad is further cementing his international presence. He has become the first talent to sign with The Qode under its newly launched Talent Elevation Service, a strategic platform designed to create high-value brand partnerships and global opportunities for leading regional talent.

Mouawad recently achieved a significant milestone with his role as Abraham in the American feature film His Only Son, which ranked among the top releases at the U.S. box office following its nationwide theatrical release. Selected from over 1,700 international actors, Mouawad continues to bridge regional and Western markets, a journey highlighted by his appearance in George Miller’s Three Thousand Years of Longing, which premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.

“Joining The Qode felt like a natural next step,” Mouawad said. “What resonated with me most was their focus on thoughtful, meaningful collaborations that respect both the craft and the people behind it. I’m excited to explore opportunities that align with who I am as an actor and storyteller.”

About The Qode’s Talent Elevation Service

Mouawad’s signing marks the official launch of The Qode’s Talent Elevation Service, led by Managing Partner Ayman Fakoussa. The division leverages The Qode’s expertise in brand strategy, storytelling, and market insight to identify and structure high-value collaborations, utilizing data, audience intelligence, and the company’s extensive relationships in luxury, culture, and lifestyle.

Emilio Bastón has joined The Qode to oversee talent and partnership strategy. The service focuses on positioning local and regional talent within MENA markets while unlocking cross-border opportunities and global brand ambassadorships, representing an evolution of The Qode’s work with international and regional brands.

“With the Talent Elevation Service, our goal is not to replace existing agents or management teams,” Fakoussa explained. “Instead, we aim to complement and elevate talent by creating meaningful, brand-led opportunities that add long-term value and work alongside their current representation.”

As The Qode expands its roster, the company welcomes collaborations with brands, talent, and partners interested in leveraging the new division. While select talent will sign exclusively, the service is designed to act as a strategic extension of existing representation.
