The Field Expert Behind Greenworks Commercial

Portrait of Jesse Swennen

When it comes to commercial electrical equipment, one thing is clear: expertise can’t be improvised. It’s built in the field, through practical decisions, real-world testing, and, above all, by listening to customers. That’s exactly what defines Jesse Swennen, an expert in Greenworks Commercial products.

Who Is Behind Greenworks Commercial’s Expertise?

Before becoming a sales representative, Jesse was initially an entrepreneur. He started his own landscaping business and quickly found himself handling everything: excavation, concrete work, finishing, team management, equipment procurement, and site planning. In short, he experienced the true reality of being an entrepreneur—with all its challenges, unexpected setbacks, and decisions that had to be made on the fly.

He’s been familiar with machinery for a long time. Kubota was already a part of his daily life long before he joined the team. He knows what it’s like to buy a machine with his own money, push it to its limits, and rely on it day in and day out.

A Journey Explaining Why He Stands In A Class Of His Own

Academically, Jesse holds a degree in business management from Bishop’s University in Sherbrooke. In the field, he has experienced the realities of entrepreneurship firsthand. That’s where the difference lies.

He understands simultaneously:

the numbers
profitability
deadline pressure
field realities
and customer expectations

After his entrepreneurial venture, Jesse moved into technical sales at Stûv America, covering Quebec, the Maritimes, and the northeastern United States. This experience strengthened his ability to listen, quickly assess needs, and build lasting relationships.

This combination of education + entrepreneurship + technical expertise makes him a rare find. He doesn’t just sell a spec sheet; he sells a solution that makes sense.

Why Can We Trust Him?

Because Jesse never focuses on the product.
He always focuses on the customer, the field, and real-world use.

When he first became interested in Greenworks Commercial, he was less familiar with the world of electric tools. Rather than just reciting brochures, he took the time to:

seriously educate himself
compare
talk to other users
understand both the strengths and limitations of the products

Today, when he recommends a Greenworks Commercial solution, it’s because he knows exactly what the machine can deliver… and under what conditions.

His Favorite Product: The Optimus Z Series 9 Zero-turn Mower

Among the electric solutions that have truly proven themselves in the field, Jesse often mentions the OPTIMUS Z Series 9. This 100% electric, 82-volt commercial zero-turn mower stands out for its power, extended runtime, and quiet operation, making it ideal for efficient performance all day long.

A unit that allows municipalities and landscapers to work all day in a quieter environment, and—most importantly—helps them save money on fuel and maintenance while also saving time. Fewer stops at gas stations, less downtime between seasons preparing the equipment, and 100% efficiency.

For Jesse, the Optimus Z Series 9 is a perfect example of how electric equipment can meet real operational needs while improving working comfort and the on-site experience.

Tangible Results In The Field

Jesse likes to cite the example of the glamping site Le Diable Vert in Sutton. By switching to electric side-by-side vehicles, the team can conduct their nightly security patrols silently, directly enhancing the customer experience without slowing down operations.

This is exactly the kind of solution that inspires him: working just as efficiently while improving both the work environment and the customer experience.

In conclusion

Jesse Swennen is much more than just a sales representative. He is a machinery enthusiast, a former entrepreneur, a field expert, and a business advisor who can bridge the gap between performance, profitability, and operational realities.

With him, Greenworks Commercial isn’t just a shift to electric. It’s a thoughtful, sustainable choice tailored to your specific needs.
