Jeff Gilsinn - Senior Account Manager
Landscape Industry Since: 2002
Signature Landscape Since: 2022
Jeff grew up in St. Louis and had a mowing business from grade school through college, earning and saving enough to pay for his college education! He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1998 from Truman State University.
He entered the professional landscape industry in 2002, starting out in account management. In this position he wore a lot of hats, doing account management, new business development, project management, and snow management. This wide range of experience helped him learn the many sides of the business.
During Jeff’s work in account management and new business development, he would network at BOMA and IREM every month and became friends with many property managers. It gave him a better understanding of the industry from their vantage point. It shaped his perspective a lot and helped him appreciate his job more. He says, “when you are working with customers that are your friends it makes work much more enjoyable.”
Jeff joined the Signature team as an Account Manager in 2022. One of his favorite parts of a career in landscaping is creating a long-term plan for a property, often inspired from his travels, that transforms it into something beautiful over time. But he says, ultimately it is the people he gets to work with that are the biggest reward. “It’s all about people, landscaping just happens to be the service we provide. Each day just try to help someone and do your best to get results that day. Do that and things tend to move in a positive direction,” says Jeff.
Outside of work Jeff enjoys traveling especially visiting gardens and parks throughout the U.S. and Europe. Jeff is married and has three children. He enjoys spending time with his family going to their activities and coaching their sports.
