On the ATP Tour Stoltenberg won four singles titles between June 1993 and May 1997 and five doubles titles between May 1990 and January 1993.

At Grand Slams Stoltenberg reached the singles semi-finals at Wimbledon in 1996 where he lost to the tournament’s eventual winner Richard Krajicek. In the doubles Stoltenberg reached the quarter-finals at all four tournaments apart from the US Open. He was also reached two quarter-finals in the mixed doubles at Wimbledon. Stoltenberg competed in the singles at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics where he beat Sule Ladipo in the first round before losing to Kenneth Carlsen in the next round.
