Morgan McClure '09 Promoted to Senior VP
We’re thrilled to celebrate Foothills grad Morgan B. McClure '09 on her promotion to Senior Vice President of Sales at Behaviorally, which provides analytics on shopper behavior.
With a background in market research and client success at companies like Mintel, Microblink, and Nielsen, Morgan has built a reputation for turning insights into action and for leading with results and humor. In her words, outstanding leadership is about “building trust, creating clarity, and helping people perform at their best, especially when the bar keeps rising.”
At Catalina Foothills High School, Morgan McClure was a standout on the girls’ golf team and a leader in Student Council, where she advocated for more food choices on campus. She helped the Falcons capture the 2007 4A State Championship while serving as Sophomore Class President, and finished that season as Southern Arizona’s top-ranked player. As a junior, she placed 7th at the 2008 Arizona 4A State Tournament and was named “One to Watch” by the Arizona Daily Star. She went on to play for Louisville and Santa Clara University.
Outside of work, Morgan is a passionate mom to Miles and Ella, a food and wine enthusiast, and a believer in lifelong learning and connection. Congratulations, Morgan!
Foothills grad Brennen Feder ’17 Achieves His "Lighthouse Goal"
Big congrats to Brennen Feder '17 on starting at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Brennen was a standout at Procter & Gamble, most recently as Senior Manager, Braun Market Strategy & Planning. A double major from the University of Arizona Honors College (Educational Leadership and Business Management), he also gives back as a W.A. Franke Honors College Advisory Board member and Coca-Cola Scholars coach and mentor.
At Foothills, Brennan was a leader in Student Council and a member of the state championship boys' tennis team.
Brennen’s advice to future business majors:
“Take the time to explore your passions through internships and get involved in student activities! Use lessons from your business classes to lead teams, resolve conflict, and inspire a shared vision in clubs and organizations—it’ll make you a better person and leader. And never underestimate how applicable your business-school experiences are to the professional world.”
Brennen calls attending Stanford his “lighthouse goal." We can’t wait to see the impact he makes next.
