work that for the first-time placed AT&T on Fortune’s 100 Best
Companies to Work For list in 2017 (one of only two Fortune 50
companies).
Before her SVP-Human Resources and Chief Diversity Officer
roles, Marshall served as President-AT&T North Carolina where
she became the first African-American chair of the North Carolina
State Chamber of Commerce.

Marshall graduated from the University of California-Berkeley
with degrees in Business Administration and Human Resources
Management and holds four honorary Doctorate degrees. Marshall has
chaired a variety of non-profit boards and is currently on the
board of Dallas CASA, Dallas Regional Chamber, Texas Women’s
Foundation, Texas 2036 and a member of the Executive Leadership
Council.
Cynt Marshall, said, “I am so excited to join forces with Beth
and the other BGSF directors to make a difference in people’s
lives. As a member of the Dallas Regional Chamber, I have been
fascinated by Beth’s leadership and her vision about how to
strategically impact communities through employment. I am looking
forward to offering my experience in recruiting, developing and
retaining talent, transforming cultures, and institutionalizing
diverse and inclusive cultures. It is an honor to join such a fine
Board of Directors and I am ready to contribute.”
Beth Garvey, President and CEO, said, “I’ve been honored to
serve as an officer of BGSF. I am so pleased with this opportunity
to deepen my contributions as a director as we build upon our
dynamic business plan. The prospect of working with Cynt in the
boardroom - to drive strategy and benefit from the insights and
knowledge she’s gained from extensive experience - is energizing
for our entire Board.”
Garvey has served as BGSF’s President and CEO since October
2018, overseeing all staffing segments – Light Industrial,
Professional (IT, Finance & Accounting) and Real Estate. After
joining the Company in 2013 via BGSF’s InStaff Personnel
acquisition, Garvey was division president of two BGSF divisions,
InStaff and Donovan & Watkins, until her promotion to Chief
Operating Officer in 2016.
