CYNT MARSHALL

CEO, DALLAS MAVERICKS

Marshall gained her position as CEO of the Dallas Mavericks after a scathing article exposed the basketball organization’s culture of sexual harassment. The diversity and inclusion consultant and former vice president of human resources for AT&T established a plan that called for her to meet with each of the organization’s 141 employees and formalize a detailed process for transforming the organization’s dysfunctional culture, among other measures. Now, the NBA’s first woman CEO is in the process of developing other winning strategies. Highly sought after as a motivational speaker, the deeply spiritual Marshall never hesitates to spread her love of God or the gospel of HASU: Hooking a Sister Up!
