Cynt Marshall - Speaker

Cynt Marshall is a game-changing leader who blends business results with a deep commitment to people. Over a 36-year career at AT&T, culminating in her role as Senior Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer, and nearly seven years as CEO of the Dallas Mavericks, she has driven measurable transformation through inclusive leadership and cultural change.

When she took the reins of the Mavericks in 2018, Cynt didn’t just aim to improve culture—she set out to redefine it. Under her leadership, the organisation has twice won the NBA’s Inclusion Leadership Award, becoming a benchmark for values-driven performance in professional sport. Her signature 100-day plan, centred on trust and transparency, delivered rapid, lasting results that are studied across industries.

Before joining the Mavericks, Cynt founded Marshalling Resources, a consultancy focused on leadership and culture. She has since advised Fortune 500 firms like Dow on embedding inclusion into business strategy. These efforts helped secure Dow’s place on DiversityInc’s Top 50 list and Fortune’s Great Place to Work rankings.

Whether building high-performing teams, reshaping workplace culture, or guiding businesses through change, Cynt offers real-world insight rooted in board-level experience and a career spent leading from the front. Her sessions leave teams energised, aligned, and equipped with practical tools to lead inclusively, navigate change, and deliver impact.
