Exodus Global announced the appointment of Mark Baltes as the company's new vice president of sales and marketing, bringing more than two decades of industry expertise and leadership to the organization.
Baltes joins Exodus Global following a distinguished 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.
After graduating college in 2001, Baltes began his career with Bobcat Company as an attachment product representative. He quickly advanced to account manager, gaining valuable frontline experience working directly with customers and equipment dealers.
In 2005, Baltes 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.
Baltes 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, Baltes 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 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."
As Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Baltes 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 customer experience.
