Boston Celtics Vice President of Team Operations and Organizational Growth Allison Feaster did not have her current position fall into her lap. The Harvard alum has had an eye for what made her sport of choice tick for many years now, and that perspective helped her vault up the ranks of front office prospects once she left her playing career behind.
