Dallas Mavericks CEO Cynt Marshall, the first Black CEO in NBA History and one of the most popular keynote speakers in America today, announced her retirement from The NBA team this week (effective December 2024). https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/41685684/cynt-marshall-retiring-ceo-mavericks-end-2024 What may seem to be a blow to The Dallas Mavericks will be a boon to the corporate meetings industry, as this bestselling author of “You’ve Been Chosen” now has a wide-open speaking calendar.

Cynt’s journey that led to one of the top leadership positions in professional basketball and her work to build inclusiveness in a top sports organization and corporate America at AT&T is truly remarkable. Cynt’s 2022 book, “You’ve Been Chosen: Thriving Through the Unexpected,” chronicles her journey in overcoming a turbulent childhood, overt and subtle racism in her career, and a life-threatening battle with cancer. On stage, Cynt exudes the effervescent positive outlook and deep wisdom that she has cultivated through these experiences and her enduring faith.

Hired by Mark Cuban to clean up a toxic front-office environment, Cynt Marshall’s leadership of The Dallas Mavericks organization has become an award-winning, best-in-class operation – marking another challenge she overcame. Cynt had been AT&T’s Chief Diversity Officer before joining the Mavs and is a hugely popular and highly energetic keynote speaker on issues of DEI, Overcoming Adversity, Corporate Culture, and Leadership.
