Making History as the NBA's First Black Female CEO Join us as we chat with Dallas Mavericks' CEO Cynthia as she discuss owning your seat at the head of the table, social justice, transforming culture and more.
Mark your calendars to see why Mark Cuban calls her "amazing, forceful, dynamic, and nurturing.” Join us for an engaging hour as Comparably CEO Jason Nazar, host of this C-suite leadership series, sits down for a virtual fireside chat with Dallas Mavericks' CEO Cynthia "Cynt" Marshall. Hear the inspirational story of how this trailblazer overcame a number of life's challenges, from growing up in public housing and domestic violence to overcoming loss and surviving cancer. She first broke barriers as the first black cheerleader at U.C. Berkeley, spent over three decades at AT&T as one of its top executives, and today is the NBA's first black female CEO. Cynt has been a powerful influence in sparking reform and engagement on the biggest issues of our time: sexism, racism, and the coronavirus. The conversation will center around practical "If I Knew Then..." leadership advice, personal life philosophies and guiding principles, and the challenges and opportunities for leaders in today's landscape. Other topics include:
- The Power of Authenticity & Values-Based Leadership
- Transforming Culture with a 100 Day Plan
- Owning Your Seat at the Head of the Table
- Social Justice and Racial/Gender Disparity
- Community Engagement During the Pandemic
