The Mavericks introduced their new business operations leader on Monday, at the same time discovering a way to keep owner Mark Cuban quiet.
Cynthia Marshall, who logged 36 years helping AT&T become one of the most respected workplaces in America, is the interim chief executive officer of the Mavericks. She will oversee all non-basketball operations.
When she fulfills obligations remaining on a contract her consulting firm has, the "interim" tag will be removed from her title, Cuban said.
In Marshall, the Mavericks are getting a confident, decisive and charismatic leader who has a strong history of knowing how to run an efficient business with emphasis on diversity and inclusion.
