Dan Hendrix served as president and CEO of Interface from 2001 to 2017, and again from 2020 to 2022. From 2011 to 2024, he served as board chair for the $1.3 billion global flooring solutions enterprise and leader in sustainability. In 2024, he retired from the chairman position while continuing as a director and now leads the Innovation & Sustainability committee. He joined the company in 1983, after leading Interface’s initial public offering as a consultant. He was quickly elevated to chief financial officer in 1985, and in 1989 he was identified as the youngest CFO at a Fortune 500 company. 

Over the course of his 40-year tenure, Dan extended Interface’s global reach with manufacturing on four continents (North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia), including a plant in Craigavon, Northern Ireland. Interface now serves customers in 110 countries with its integrated portfolio of carpet tile and resilient flooring products, including luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and nora® rubber flooring.

Dan orchestrated Interface’s business rebounds in 2001 and 2010 and led the company through the Covid-19 pandemic. He also drove Interface’s strategic diversification beyond the corporate office market into new segments such as education, hospitality, healthcare, retail, and the launch of FLOR, the company’s residential design- and sustainability-driven e-commerce brand. 

Dan often speaks to investors and others about Interface’s financial progress and the business case for sustainability. He has given talks to a wide range of organizations, inspiring others through stories of Interface’s visionary approach to sustainability, discussing the company’s strategy of getting ahead by making investments that are good for the environment, as well as long-term growth.
