Leading From The Heart

BREAKING:  Mavs CEO announces retirement.  Cynthia ‘Cynt’ Marshall is a respected executive with a distinguished 36-year career at AT&T and a renowned advocate for inclusion and diversity. She is currently the CEO of the Dallas Mavericks and the President & CEO of Marshalling Resources Consulting, a firm specializing in leadership, diversity & inclusion, culture transformation, and people resource optimization.

Cynt’s vision for the Mavericks organization was to transform its culture into the NBA standard for inclusion and diversity, and she brought transparency, trust, and her values-based leadership style to accomplish this in her first 100 days as CEO. Prior to joining the Mavericks, she founded Marshalling Resources, where she worked with The Dow Chemical Company to develop and implement a strategy for institutionalizing an inclusive culture.

As Senior Vice President – Human Resources & Chief Diversity Officer at AT&T, Cynt was responsible for identifying and developing leaders, aligning employees with the company’s vision and priorities, and overseeing major business unit HR support. She also led the team that created a world-class diversity and inclusion culture that landed AT&T in the top 3 on Diversity Inc’s 2017 Top 50 list of companies. Her visionary leadership and ability to get things done have earned her several honors and awards, including being named one of Adweek’s 30 Most Powerful Women in Sports and receiving the Women of Power Legacy Award by Black Enterprise.

Cynt graduated from the University of California-Berkeley with degrees in Business Administration and Human Resources Management and holds four honorary Doctorate degrees. She chairs various non-profit boards and is currently on the board of Dallas CASA, Dallas Regional Chamber, Texas Women’s Foundation, Texas 2036, T.D. Jakes Foundation, and a member of the Executive Leadership Council (ELC). She is also on the Board of Directors of BGSF Staffing and Blinktbi, Inc. Cynt grew up in Richmond, California, and now lives in the Dallas area with her husband, Kenneth Marshall.

Cynt Marshall Keynote

Keynote Topics

As the CEO who transformed the Dallas Mavericks organization after its most public crisis, and a 36-year AT&T veteran who rose to the C-suite, Cynt Marshall has led deep cultural transformation at the highest levels of both corporate America and professional sports. This keynote explores how authentic, heart-centered leadership—grounded in vulnerability, accountability, and genuine care for people—builds the trust and lasting commitment that drives organizational excellence.

Inclusive cultures do not just feel good—they perform measurably better on every key business metric. Cynt Marshall shares her firsthand experience turning around one of the most publicly scrutinized organizations in professional sports and the specific blueprint she used to make belonging, accountability, and joy a genuine business strategy rather than a slogan. A keynote that proves inclusion and high performance are not competing priorities—they are the same priority.

Little did I know that amazing woman would come back later in life to inspire me with her version of the event. Thank you for your diligent efforts to bring Janet’s story to us.

I just wanted to express my appreciation for having the opportunity to have Alex Honnold speak to my senior leadership group this morning. Alex was amazing: funny, articulate, open, humble, and very engaging. My group loved him and his presentation. Please let Alex know how much we appreciated him and his accomplishments, most notably his charitable foundation.

Thank you for all you did with booking Magic Johnson and being on site with him. It was so refreshing meeting you in person and having the service you provided. That was an invaluable experience for me and my team and I cannot thank you enough. Magic was amazing – there could not have been a better fit for our conference. Honestly, Mr. Johnson and Mel Robbins complemented each other better than I could have ever dreamt. The two of them made our conference.
