About Point 33
Shaped by hands-on experience building and working within teams
The Point 33 team comes from a background across engineering, product, sales and business. This experience shapes how we approach each search.
We have been hands-on in building teams, from hiring to management, and bring that perspective into the process.
From engineering and product to sales and leadership, we have supported companies at every stage of growth and understand what each search requires.
Craig DeBono
Founder
Craig is originally from Schenectady, New York and holds a bachelor's degree in Management and a master's degree in Analytics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, NY.
Craig spent the early part of his career in analytics, AI/ML, product and engineering management. He scaled a team from 2 to 10 and managed a tech department through a full acquisition, gaining firsthand experience in what it takes to grow and protect a team at a critical inflection point.
He later brought that perspective into recruiting, where he has worked with a wide range of companies, mostly startups, across industries. His searches span Sales, Marketing, Product, and Engineering, from individual contributors to senior leadership.
