Clark Hunt has been the driving force behind the resurgence of the Kansas City Chiefs, transforming the iconic franchise into one of the most successful teams in the National Football League.

Since Hunt became CEO of the Chiefs in 2010, the club has earned nine AFC West Division championships, including eight consecutive division titles (2016-present). Hunt has hoisted the award that bears his father's name – the Lamar Hunt Trophy – four times in the past five years as the club claimed AFC championships and earned Super Bowl appearances following the 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023 seasons. By winning Super Bowl LVIII following the 2023 season, the Chiefs became just the second team this century to win back-to-back world championships, and became one of just seven NFL franchises to hold at least four Super Bowl titles (IV, LIV, LVII, LVIII).

In January 2013, Hunt modified the leadership structure of the organization, announcing that for the first time in club history, the head coach, general manager and team president would all report directly to the Chairman and CEO. Hunt hired Head Coach Andy Reid in 2013, and Reid has since become the winningest head coach in franchise history. In 11 seasons under Reid, the Chiefs have won 128 regular season games, the most in the NFL during that span. The club has qualified for the postseason 10 times (2013, 2015-23), winning eight consecutive AFC West titles (2016-23), competing in six consecutive AFC Championship Games (2018-23), and winning three Super Bowls (2019, 2022-23).

Hunt extended the contracts of Reid, General Manager Brett Veach and Team President Mark Donovan in April 2024, ensuring the leadership of the club's football and business operations will remain in place for years to come.

In addition to his leadership of the Chiefs and his standing as one of the most respected leaders in the NFL, Hunt has also been instrumental in bringing football to the world – and bringing the world of international football to the United States. From 2011-18, Hunt served as chairman of the NFL International Committee, and significantly expanded the league's international efforts and investment overseas. Before Hunt's chairmanship, the league had played four regular season games internationally. Since Hunt was named committee chairman in 2011, the league has hosted 44 regular season games across the United Kingdom, Mexico and Germany, with every NFL team playing at least once internationally. Hunt continues to serve as a member of the committee, and in 2024 the NFL will host five international regular season games, including one in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the first NFL game to be played in South America.

Hunt has also been instrumental in bringing FIFA World Cup 2026 to the United States, and specifically to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. He served as co-chair of the Kansas City bid to host the World Cup, a process that began in 2015. In 2022, FIFA announced Kansas City as one of eleven World Cup host sites in the United States, and in 2024 it announced that GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium will host six tournament matches, including four group fixtures and two knockout matches. Kansas City will host a quarterfinal match alongside Los Angeles, Miami and Boston.

Hunt's leadership in the NFL extends beyond his ability to grow the game. In 2019, he was named Chairman of the influential NFL Finance Committee after serving as a member for seven years. In addition to the International and Finance committees, Hunt is also a current member of three other League committees: the NFL Personal Conduct Committee, the Management Council Executive Committee (CEC) and the Commissioner's Special Committee on Ownership Policy. He was a member of the Commissioner Search Committee in 2006 which recommended Roger Goodell as the successor to then-Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, and previously served on the NFL Digital Media Committee which was restructured in 2019.

A long-time member of the Management Council Executive Committee (CEC), Hunt was instrumental in securing the NFL's last two collective bargaining agreements in 2011 and 2020.

Hunt is also a founding investor-operator in Major League Soccer, serving as Chairman and CEO of FC Dallas. Hunt and his family originally founded two other MLS clubs, the Kansas City Wizards (now Sporting Kansas City) and the Columbus Crew, before acquiring FC Dallas in 2003. Hunt remains actively involved in the continued growth of MLS, serving as a member of the MLS Board of Governors, co-chair of the Product Strategy Committee and member of the Labor Committee.

The son of legendary American sports pioneer and Chiefs Founder Lamar Hunt, Clark Hunt has built upon his father's legacy by ensuring the Chiefs organization remains focused on its core mission: Honor Tradition, Unite our Community, Win with Character and Inspire our Fans.

As part of that mission, the organization has made significant investments in the fan experience, including major upgrades to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The Hunt family committed $125 million to the $375 million renovation of GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium completed in 2010, which provided Chiefs fans with first-class amenities while maintaining the distinct soul and mystique that makes the venue one of the most iconic stadiums in the NFL. Since then, the club has invested tens of millions of dollars in the stadium to enhance fan experience and maintain the venue's standing as one of the best in the league. This includes replacing every seat in the seating bowl, upgrading scoreboard and video board technology, revamping the team store, renovating the locker room complex, installing stadium-wide Wi-Fi, launching the Chiefs Mobile app, and introducing additional premium club and suite options for fans in all areas of the stadium. The club has also reinvigorated the Chiefs Hall of Honor, turning it into a fully enclosed, modern, digital experience that celebrates the past, present and future of the franchise.

Under the Hunt family's leadership, GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium has become a cultural cornerstone for Kansas City. In 2013, Hunt and his family debuted the first phase of the Arrowhead Art Collection, a seven-figure community investment highlighting regional artwork and culture and providing educational opportunities for students throughout the Chiefs Kingdom. In total, more than 50 pieces of art have been installed at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, combining two pieces of the cultural fabric of Kansas City – sports and the arts – inside a regional architectural masterpiece. Arrowhead Events, a division of the club's business operation started under Hunt, has brought numerous musical acts to the stadium, including Taylor Swift, Billy Joel, U2, George Strait, Garth Brooks and Beyoncé.

Hunt is a native of Dallas, Texas, and he graduated first in his class at Southern Methodist University in 1987 with a degree in Business Administration and a concentration in finance. He was a captain and four-year letterman on the Mustangs' nationally ranked soccer team. Hunt has received numerous awards and recognitions from his alma mater, including the SMU Cox School of Business Outstanding Young Alumni Award in 2004 and the SMU Cox School of Business Distinguished Alumni Award in 2018. In 2020 he received the SMU Distinguished Alumni Award – the highest honor the university can bestow upon its graduates – for outstanding leadership in philanthropy, business and civic life. Hunt currently serves on the Board of Trustees for SMU and for the St. Mark's School of Texas. Hunt was also enshrined in the Dallas Business Hall of Fame in February 2022.

He and his wife, Tavia, are actively involved in numerous philanthropic initiatives in both Kansas City and Dallas. In 2023, the Chiefs recorded the largest charitable footprint in the history of the organization, with $3.7 million delivered to Chiefs Kingdom and beyond. One of the Hunt family's lasting legacies is the Chiefs Charity Game, which has raised more than $15.6 million for local youth-focused charities since its inception in 1985. In 2017, the Chiefs and the Hunt Family Foundation were selected as a finalist for the prestigious Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Sports Award, recognizing the influence of sports in inspiring healthy change in communities through innovation and collaboration. The Chiefs were named 2016 Business Philanthropist of the Year in Kansas City by Nonprofit Connect, an association linking the nonprofit community to education, resources and networking opportunities. Nonprofit Connect also awarded the Chiefs/Hunt Family Foundation and GEHA their "Stronger Together" Award in 2023 for their collaboration on the Joe Delaney Learn to Swim Program.

The Hunts have three children - Gracie, Knobel and Ava.
