Parading with the Chiefs

Plattsburg native Kim Hobbs earns second ring as KC executive

The remarkable success story of the Kansas City Chiefs football team, with its MVP quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, has provided Chiefs fans with plenty of special opportunities. These special opportunities are also enjoyed by Kim Hobbs, a 1990 graduate of Plattsburg High School, who is the vice president of partnerships, premium sales and media with the Chiefs. This spot provides her with an inside view of the workings of the super successful football team.

Ms. Hobbs accepted her current position six years ago, and since that time, the Chiefs have played in the last five AFC championship games at GEHA Arrowhead Stadium, winning three of them, earning them three trips to the Super Bowl – 2020, 2021 and 2023. While there is nonstop success on the football field, it also leads to a nonstop work schedule for Hobbs and her team.

There is no complaining from the highly-successful, hard-working woman from Plattsburg. Apparently, she reaches back to that competitive spirit and drive that helped her earn All-KCI honors on the basketball court for the Lady Tigers.

That extra effort hasn’t gone unnoticed.
