agency. She founded their first marketing department and became the off-court agent of roughly
30% of the WNBA. In under 2 years, she generated nearly $2M in revenue for our women through
partnerships with Gatorade, State Farm, Jordan Brand, Adidas, Xbox, Deloitte, among others. In
addition to WNBA players’ income increasing, they also now had access to major platforms,
avenues to explore passion points, and the ability to give back like never before.

across the board of sports. Shortly after in Fall 2023, Stoked was acquired by Range Sports, where

Rheann’s work in women’s sports has landed her mentions in Forbes, Sports Illustrated, Vogue
Business, Women’s Wear Daily, and Sports Business Journal. She is fueled by her passion to
expand possibilities for women, both in and outside of sports. With a focus on increasing exposure
of women athletes and their stories, translating that exposure into inspiration for girls & boys to
come, and creating more seats at the table for those who usually do not get one.

Range Sports and setting the tone for the new era to come.
