Early life and education

[edit]

Morris was born in Denver, Colorado in 1968. Company filings state that Morris is a graduate of Colorado State University.[3][2]

Career

[edit]

Morris began her retail career at an Albertsons store in the Denver market.[2][4] She rose through store operations, merchandising and regional leadership roles, becoming president of the Intermountain Division in 2013 and president of the Denver Division in 2015.[5][6]

In April 2016, Morris was appointed executive vice president of retail operations for Albertsons’ East Region;[4] she became executive vice president and chief operations officer in January 2018, overseeing supply chain, manufacturing and retail operations across more than 2,200 stores in 34 states.[7]

On 3 March 2025, Albertsons announced a CEO succession plan under which Morris would succeed Vivek Sankaran as president and CEO, effective 1 May 2025; she also joined the company’s board of directors on that date.[1][2]

As CEO, Morris has outlined a focus on the company’s “Customers for Life” strategy and discussed pricing, loyalty and private brands as levers for growth. In July 2025, following first-quarter results, she said on a post-earnings call that the grocer had invested in loyalty programs and targeted promotions while leaning on private-label products; Albertsons raised its annual identical-sales forecast at the time.[8] Industry press also noted leadership changes aimed at accelerating technology, retail media and e-commerce initiatives after she took the helm.[9]

Morris serves on the board of directors of IDACORP (the parent of Idaho Power), to which she was appointed in May 2023.[3] According to company disclosures, she also serves on the board of the Food Marketing Institute (FMI).[2]
