Las Vegas Sands

As part of Women's History Month 2024, Sands recently welcomed Cynt Marshall, CEO of the Dallas Mavericks, as a guest speaker for the In Focus DEI Conversation Series, which provides corporate Team Members with perspectives from diverse leaders in the corporate, nonprofit and public sectors.

With the same majority shareholder ownership, the Dallas Mavericks and Sands enjoy a "first cousin" relationship, as Marshall and series leader and moderator Ron Reese, chair of the company's diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) council, discussed during the session.

Sands invited Marshall to share her journey to assuming one of the top leadership positions in professional basketball and her work to build inclusiveness in a top sports organization and corporate America

Marshall drew on stories from her 2022 book, "You've Been Chosen: Thriving Through the Unexpected," which chronicles her journey in overcoming a turbulent childhood, overt and subtle racism in her career, and a life-threatening battle with cancer. Like the book, the In Focus session exuded the effervescent positive outlook and deep wisdom Marshall cultivated through these experiences and her enduring faith.

Marshall joined the Dallas Mavericks as CEO in 2018. Though she was the first Black woman to become a CEO in the National Basketball Association - a milestone that should have been widely celebrated - her appointment on the heels of diversity issues in the Mavericks' organization brought more skepticism around her ability to succeed than accolades.

Yet, under Marshall's leadership, the Dallas Mavericks organization has become an award-winning, best-in-class operation - marking another challenge she overcame.

Marshall brought extensive leadership experience to the Mavericks, particularly in the area of DEI. Before joining the team, she served in a variety of positions, including as chief diversity officer, with AT&T during her 36-year tenure. After leaving AT&T, she founded her own consulting company to guide corporate clients on DEI issues and organizational change.

Marshall had been working with a leading global corporate client to develop and implement a strategy for institutionalizing an inclusive culture when Mavericks owner Mark Cuban called about an "opportunity." Originally intending to turn it down, the chance to make an impact in changing organizational culture was too enticing to pass up.
