Joyner arrives at Durable Surfaces after serving as Chief Revenue Officer at Ghost Robotics, where he oversaw rapid international scaling. His background includes significant work in the defense and technology sectors, as well as leadership roles with the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International. Owners Jeff Desso, Derek Cressman, and Marc Williams will maintain ownership of the firm while focusing on their respective domains of marketing, technical services, and operations.

This leadership change marks a pivot point for the company as it scales its specialized services, including high-performance coatings and precision flatness remediation for automated warehouses. Derek Cressman noted that Joyner’s experience in organizational scaling is essential for capitalizing on the firm's current growth trajectory. Joyner will work directly with the ownership group to refine the company’s long-term business strategy while leveraging its existing footprint in the manufacturing and distribution sectors.
