Ramesses Khalfani, PCM®, CBM™
Ramesses Khalfani is a sports executive, licensed sports agent, and strategic advisor whose work spans athlete advisory, representation, and brand strategy. He helps basketball players assess where they stand today and build a career roadmap that identifies what to develop, which programs to target, and how to position themselves for opportunities on and off the court.
A former NCAA Division I and professional basketball player, Khalfani brings firsthand experience at both levels to his assessment of player readiness, program fit, and career transitions.
As Principal Advisor of RKC Advisory Group, Khalfani leads the firm’s athlete advisory practice. He works with players and families to evaluate high school and college programs, establish recruiting priorities, and develop plans aligned with the athlete’s long-term objectives. His assessments consider the player’s projected role, the program’s approach to development, and the competitive demands of the next level. He also advises athletes on brand positioning and how they present themselves to programs and potential partners. RKC also offers executive advisory and personal development services, including SHIFT by RKC.
As Founder of Vellum Sports, Khalfani oversees athlete representation, career management, NIL opportunities, and brand partnerships. He evaluates commercial opportunities in the context of the athlete’s career, considering the value of each partnership, the commitments it requires, and its fit with the athlete’s public profile and long-term interests.
Across his ventures, Khalfani helps clients assess their options, establish a clear direction, and follow through with purpose. His work connects immediate decisions about recruiting, development, and representation to the long-term interests of the athlete.

The 3P Framework™️
Perception, Presence, Positioning.
The 3P Framework™ is a strategic advisory methodology designed to identify the gaps between an individual's or brand's capabilities, external reputation, and desired opportunities.
PERCEPTION
What does the market believe?
The reputation, credibility, visibility, and expectations that influence how athletes, executives, and professionals are evaluated by decision-makers.
PRESENCE
What does the experience confirm?
The way you communicate, perform, lead, and carry yourself. Your presence either reinforces or challenges how others perceive your value and capabilities.
POSITIONING
Where does that place you?
Where you stand relative to your peers, competitors, and opportunities. Your positioning reflects how your reputation and demonstrated capabilities influence your competitive advantage and potential for advancement.
When perception and presence align, positioning strengthens.
The 3P Framework™ identifies misalignment, determines what is limiting the desired position, and informs the strategy required to close the gap.
