Mark Cuban always tries to push himself out of his comfort zone, so it's no surprise that he does the same for others. Cynt Marshall, CEO of the Dallas Mavericks, experienced it firsthand when Cuban cold-called her with a job offer in 2018, she recently told LinkedIn's The Path newsletter. Second, she said: "I was well aware of the fact that I did not know the business of basketball." In response, Cuban gave Marshall some simple yet effective advice, she recounted: "He said, 'You don't worry about that. Prior to her appointment, the Mavericks had no women or people of color in leadership, LinkedIn noted.
Finally returning his messages eventually led to her appointment as CEO of the Dallas Mavericks, Cuban's NBA team. "I honestly didn't know who Mark Cuban was," Marshall told the Dallas Observer in 2018. Marshall told Fortune in October of her thinking at the time. Since the two were initially strangers, their first phone call simply involved "getting to know a little about each other," Marshall told Yahoo Finance. Cuban laid out the issues facing the Mavericks' workplace on the phone, Marshall said.
Cynt Marshall said when Mark Cuban called to offer her the job of Mavericks CEO, she thought it was one of her kids asking for money. Marshall has been CEO of the Mavericks since 2018 and is the first black female CEO in the NBA. Marshall has been CEO of the Dallas Mavericks, which is owned by Mark Cuban, since 2018. She is the first black female CEO in NBA history. "First of all, when Mark Cuban called me - okay, don't judge me - I didn't know Mark Cuban," she said.
But former Xerox CEO Ursula Burns — who became the first Black female CEO of a Fortune 500 company in 2009 — says she never bought into that narrative. "I would not be able to be CEO of the company unless I outsourced the caring for my kids," Burns, 63, tells CNBC Make It. Burns led Xerox from 2009 to 2016, when the company split into two corporate entities: Xerox and Conduent. In 2009, Burns was also appointed by President Barack Obama to help lead the White House National STEM program, which encourages students to pursue STEM-related careers.
