Exodus Global appoints new vice president of sales and marketing

Exodus Global has appointed Mark Baltes as the company's new vice president of sales and marketing, bringing more than two decades of industry expertise and proven leadership to the organization.

Mark joins Exodus Global following a long career, leading sales and marketing teams across the heavy equipment and attachment industries. His experience spans product development, dealer channel expansion, and guiding teams through major integrations across several industry acquisitions.

In his new role, Mark will oversee strategic growth initiatives across all Exodus Global brands, including ShearCore (Fortress), BladeCore, Connect Work Tools, OilQuick Americas, and RockZone Americas, while leading the teams responsible for expanding market presence, strengthening dealer relationships, and enhancing contractor experience.

Mark's history in the industry 

After graduating college in 2001, Mark began his career with Bobcat Company as an attachment product representative. He quickly advanced to account manager, gaining valuable frontline experience working directly with contractors and equipment dealers.

In 2005, Mark joined Paladin Attachments, where he focused on attachment solutions and strengthening dealer networks. His success in building high-performing teams and expanding market presence led to increasing leadership responsibilities, including recruiting and managing a growing sales team.

Mark was promoted to director of dealer sales in 2015. In this role, he played a key part in several major organizational transitions. When Stanley acquired Paladin in 2019, Mark helped lead the integration of Paladin Attachments into Stanley Infrastructure. Following the 2024 acquisition of Stanley Infrastructure by Epiroc, Mark again served on the integration team, providing steady leadership through another transformative shift.

"During the interview process it became very clear that Mark is the perfect fit for our leadership team," said Kevin Boreen, CEO of Exodus Global. "His industry knowledge, his experience strengthening dealer networks, and his leadership through times of significant change all make him an exceptional addition to our organization. We're excited for him to put his experience to work for us."

"Joining a family-owned organization that puts customers first and continues to grow year after year feels like the perfect next step," said Mark Baltes. "I'm grateful for the opportunity and excited to help shape the future of the scrap and demolition industry alongside a team that truly cares."
