Black History Spotlight.  Cynthia “Cynt” Marshall, 61, first Black woman CEO in the NBA.

“I need to make sure I’m not the last,” Dallas Mavericks boss Cynt Marshall tells CNBC Make It about making history in 2018 as the first Black woman CEO in the NBA.

Marshall — a former AT&T executive who was hired by billionaire Mavericks owner Mark Cuban to clean up the workplace culture after an investigation revealed 20 years of misconduct issues — says the Mavericks organization has pledged a minimum of 10,000 employee volunteer hours and $5 million to support local communities via education, scholarships, mentorship and public policy.

“I have to make sure that I’m mentoring others and helping others to mentor people like me so that we’ll have a second, third, fourth and fifth” Black, female CEO in the NBA, she says. 

Marshall says four things lead to her own success: dreaming big, having focus, prayer and taking action.

“I don’t care where you are, what your zip code is, have big dreams,” says Marshall.
