Silvia Pellegrino — Operations Associate
At TestGorilla, as the first Customer Success Operation Manager, I help scale Customer Success by combining CRM expertise, automation, and CS strategy to create seamless, impactful processes. My work spans strategy, process design, and execution, streamlining workflows, improving internal operations, and enhancing how we engage with customers across the whole post-sales customer journey. I thrive on collaboration, working closely with product, sales, and marketing teams to align strategies, foster platform adoption, and drive customer retention. By analyzing customer behavior and communication patterns, I develop tailored solutions that empower customers to succeed with our platform and build lasting relationships. I’m passionate about all things Customer Success, Customer Experience, Operations, and Product Development. I love tackling the challenges of scaling SaaS solutions while ensuring every customer feels supported and valued. Before diving into the world of SaaS, I earned a double major in Political Science and Global Studies (focus: Peace, Conflict and Human Rights, and Africa/Middle East), with a minor in International Affairs and a certificate in International Peace and Security from the University of Northern Iowa. I also had the chance to work as a Field Organizer for the Bernie 2020 campaign in Warren County, Iowa, where I developed my communication and organizational skills. Outside of work, I’m interested in global development, human rights, and conflict management, but also cooking, reading and trivia challenges!
