Founding story
The name 33eleven comes from two of the greatest to ever play their games.
Larry Bird wore 33. Mark Messier wore 11. Both Hall of Famers. Between them, nine world championships. What made them exceptional wasn't just individual talent. It was how they elevated everyone around them.
That's the model. The best executive search isn't transactional. It's collaborative. With clients who are honest about what they need. With candidates who are ready to ask hard questions. And with a team that stays invested in the outcome long after the offer is signed.
We consider search a team sport, and we couldn't think of two better examples.
