CHARLESTON, S.C. – Beemok Capital, the family office of businessman and philanthropist Benjamin Navarro and parent company of Beemok Sports and Entertainment, today announced key leadership changes in its tennis operations. Bob Moran has been appointed to the newly created role of President of Beemok Sports and Entertainment.

Todd Martin, Head of Tennis for Beemok Sports and Entertainment, will partner with Mr. Moran and continue to serve as a senior leader in Beemok’s growing tennis portfolio.

“I am looking forward to leading our sports and entertainment initiatives and continuing to showcase our world-class events, alongside the two incredible teams in both Charleston and Cincinnati,” said Moran. “With the Credit One Charleston Open next week, Charleston’s summer concert series around the corner, and the Western & Southern Open scheduled for August, we are ready to host incredible competition on the courts, talent on the stage and fans in the stands.”

Mr. Moran has spent the last 23 years as a leader in the tennis community. He serves as the America’s representative on the WTA Tournament Council and is a Board Member of the WTA Foundation. Under Mr. Moran’s leadership, the Credit One Charleston Open was named the WTA 500 Tournament of the Year in 2022.
