[KC Chiefs.com] Since he was hired as vice president by the Chiefs in May of 2009, Mark Donovan was destined for bigger things. After the Chiefs let go of then-president Denny Thum last fall, Donovan had been doing most of the team’s presidential things anyway, only without the title.

The Chiefs made the inevitable official today, making Donovan their new president. Donovan is responsible for all aspects of the team’s business operations.
