Chiefs Hire New COO
May 18, 2009 - Bob Gretz |

The Sports Business Journal Daily reported on Monday that the Chiefs have hired Mark Donovan to be their new Chief Operating Officer.

Donovan has spent the last six years with the PHiladelphia Eagles as Senior Vice-President of Business Operations, where he was reponsible for all revenue generating, marketing and branding activities. With the annoucement of Denny Thum as team president, Donovan would appear to be on the next step below and the person who will direct efforts in areas like sales, marketing, tickets and possibly public relations.

Before joining the Eagles, Donovan was the senior director of marketing and sales for the National Football League and he also worked as director of corporate sales and marketing for the National Hockety League.

A native of Pittsburgh, Brown graduated from Brown University, where he was team captain and quarterback of the fotoball team. He is married with two children.

An internal annoucement of Donovan’s departure was made late last week to some Eagles staffers, according to the SBJ Daily.
