The Chief Executive Officer of the Dallas Mavericks announced her departure Monday in a press conference. In her leadership role she became the first black female CEO to lead a NBA sports team in history.
No explanation is given in the press statement announcing Marshall’s decision to quit after nearly seven years.
Marshall was hired and discovered by owner Mark Cuban, back in 2018 when Cuban decided to transform the work environment. If you may recall, this was when the Mavericks organization was exposed after an investigation. Employee’s spoke out for 20 years of sexual harassment and workplace misconduct at the organization.
Cuban desperately needed to turn around the workplace environment around after it was made known to him and he trusted one woman to get the job done.
Upon Marshall receiving the call, Mrs. Cynt recalls listening to voicemail from Cuban, not knowing who he was. That is until her children informed her and encouraged her to return the call.
At the time, Marshall had retired from ATT&T after years and began a consulting company.
According to an exclusive interview from NBC5, Marshall accepted the job, addressed the range of issues and implemented a 100 day plan and mandatory workplace training for all employees from the offices to the basketball court.
She has completely changed the Mavericks organization with diversity and inclusion for all, receiving accolades for her work.
To this day Cynt has shaken the city up becoming one of the most successful black leaders in the business.
