Dallas Mavericks CEO Cynt Marshall has announced she will retire at the end of December after nearly seven years in the role.
A news release sent by the team today, says she will move into a consultant role through 2025. When Mark Cuban hired Marshall in 2018, she became the first Black woman to lead an NBA franchise.
"Bringing Cynt to the Mavericks six years ago was one of the smartest decisions I've ever made," said Mark Cuban, minority owner of the Dallas Mavericks, in a news release. "She has led this organization to new heights with grace and integrity, and her light will continue to shine bright throughout the community. Thank you, Cynt."
There is no mention of why it is Marshall has decided to step down from the role. The change comes a year after Cuban sold the team to the Las Vegas Sands Corporation.
“Cynt Marshall is a force of nature," Dumont said in the news release. "I like to say her superpower is bringing people together, but the truth is she has many superpowers. Cynt has always gone above and beyond in everything she has done, and her leadership of the Dallas Mavericks is no exception. She is an indelible fixture in the history of this franchise, and we are eternally grateful. The positive impact she has had here will be felt for a very long time."
