Meet Our President & CEO

My name is Joseph Roy, President and CEO of the Coastal Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute.

In alignment with our goal to help underserved communities, I will work with community leaders and organizations to promote that we are inclusive of underrepresented populations throughout the communities that we serve.

I’ve been a Palm Coast resident since 2006, was Area Manager of the Small Business Development Center at the University of Central Florida in Palm Coast and Manager of the Palm Coast Business Assistance Center from 2011 to 2014.

I understand the need to provide business assistance as well as the opportunity for Entrepreneurs to create new products, services, and technologies that improve lifestyles locally, nationally, and globally.
