“As soon as I met Sarah I knew that she was the perfect fit for Range. She has sophisticated taste as well as deep relationships and experience,” said Kadin. “I am thrilled to have brought Kathleen with me to Range. She was a superstar at Secret Hideout and she’s already proven to be a fantastic executive in the short time she’s been here. I am beyond excited about this stellar team and what we are about to build together.”
