'I have to do it for the sisterhood.' Cynthia Marshall is the first African-American woman to be CEO of an NBA team. She tells PoppyHarlowCNN why she better not be the last. BossFiles
She's the first African-American woman to lead an NBA team and says she better not be the last. More than a year after being tapped as CEO of the embattled Dallas Mavericks, Cynthia Marshall says she has turned around the organization's culture and has greatly diversified its top ranks.
Marshall was hired by owner Mark Cuban last year to transform the Mavericks after Sports Illustrated exposed a "corrosive workplace culture" at the organization. Months after the article came out, an independent investigation launched by the Mavericks unearthed a number of instances over more than 20 years of sexual harassment and other improper workplace conduct, including inappropriate comments, touching, and forcible kissing.
