Meet the BladeCore Team: The People Behind the Blades You Trust

Meet the BladeCore Team

At BladeCore, we believe strong products come from strong people.

Every blade we ship and every customer experience we deliver is backed by a team committed to integrity, service, and long-term partnerships across the scrap recycling and demolition industries.

Today, we’re excited to introduce you to the individuals who make BladeCore more than a brand. They make it personal.

🔶 Ryan Coslov – Director of Sales, Southeast Region

Since joining BladeCore in 2017 as a Regional Business Manager, Ryan Coslov has helped shape the growth and direction of both BladeCore and ShearCore. Now serving as Director of Sales, Ryan oversees sales initiatives across the Southeast while supporting the broader national team.

Known throughout the industry for his commitment to customer relationships and exceptional service, Ryan has earned a respected reputation across the recycling and demolition markets. Ryan’s leadership, insight, and people-first approach continue to propel BladeCore forward.

🔶 Leah Glucoft – Regional Business Manager, West

A proud third-generation scrapper, Leah Glucoft brings unmatched passion and perspective to the industry. She’s been part of the BladeCore family for almost nine years, but scrap has been part of her life since day one.

Leah’s philosophy is simple—and powerful:
“Sales is not just about making money. It’s about doing what’s right for the customer and making a lasting impression. It’s about knowing when to listen and when to ask the right questions.”

Her favorite thing about working in scrap?
The people.

Her deep roots and genuine care for customers make her an invaluable resource for operations throughout the Western region.

🔶 Chris Fodor – Regional Business Manager, Northeast

With more than 16 years at Exodus Global, Chris Fodor is no stranger to supporting customers with top-tier products. Joining the BladeCore team in 2024, Chris also represents the Fortress line of shears offering a unique blend of expertise across both cutting and processing solutions.

Chris shares what keeps him motivated after nearly two decades:
“It means a lot to work for great people, with respect and integrity, who empower you to do your job and stand behind you. It’s even better when the company builds a product that you can absolutely be proud to represent.”

Chris oversees the Northeastern region with a commitment to honesty, support, and long-standing customer partnerships.


🔶 Aaron O’Shaughnessy – Regional Business Manager, South

Aaron O’Shaughnessy began his BladeCore journey in Inside Sales, where he built a strong foundation in product knowledge and customer support. His career expanded to Connect Work Tools as a Midwest Business Manager and later to General Equipment—giving him a broad understanding of attachments, equipment, and field needs.

Today, Aaron is back with the ShearCore and BladeCore team in a Regional Business Manager role, supporting the South region. His experience, reliability, and dedication to customer success make him a trusted partner for operations of all sizes.

🔶 Karen Griffin – Inside Sales Manager & International Sales Lead

For the past four years, Karen Griffin has been the voice customers rely on when they call BladeCore. As Inside Sales Manager, she ensures seamless communication, efficient order support, and fast turnaround.

Karen also serves as the primary contact for all international customers, helping expand BladeCore’s footprint far beyond North America. Her attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction are second to none.

🔶 Ryan Kelly – Inside Sales Associate

Joining the team in July 2023, Ryan Kelly plays an essential behind-the-scenes role as our Inside Sales Associate. He’s the one who enters your orders, confirms details, and keeps shipments moving on time.
