Mark Donovan
President, Kansas City Chiefs
Entering his 21st season in the National Football League and his 11th season in Kansas City in 2019, Mark Donovan was named the fifth president in Chiefs history in January 2011 after serving two years as the club’s chief operating officer. As president, Donovan is responsible for all aspects of the club’s business operations and reports directly to Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt. Recognized as one of the league’s most innovative executives, Donovan brings unique experience and perspective to the team. He is one of only a few executives league-wide who has worked both at the NFL league office and for a club, with valuable perspective and strong relationships both in the Kansas City area and on a national level.
Donovan and his wife Kathy are also personally committed to the community, serving in numerous civic and charitable leadership roles, including two terms as the inaugural Board Chair for City Year Kansas City beginning in 2016. For his support of City Year, AmeriCorps and the national service community, he was awarded the Citizen Service Award by Voices for National Service in February of 2019. They served as honorary chairs for Forks and Corks to benefit Harvesters - The Community Food Network in 2016, and as honorary chairs for the 2017 Kansas City Repertory Theatre's Fearless Fete. The couple also chaired the 2019 City Year Gala. He was also a co-chair for the American Jazz Walk of Fame in 2016. He joined University of Kansas Men's Basketball Coach Bill Self to headline the KVC Hero Luncheon in 2015.
