Fleet Feet CEO and UNC alum knows how to ring the 'money bell'
Posted Jul 17, 2026
Fleet Feet CEO and president Joey Pointer?’00, ’01 (MAC) keeps a handheld bell on his desk as a reminder of just how far both he and the company have come. When he first went to work at Fleet Feet’s corporate headquarters in Carrboro in 2004, someone rang that "money bell" when the company had taken in enough cash that week to make payroll.
