Meet Romy: A nature lover who thrives on challenges (like her rabbits)
Meet Romy: Our Junior Customer Success Manager
Introducing Romy Thor, our dedicated Junior Customer Success Manager at Pistachio. Originally from France, Romy's journey to Pistachio began with a spontaneous decision to spend a semester in Norway, which eventually led to her marrying a Norwegian and making a permanent move. In this edition of our "Employee Spotlight" series, Romy shares insights into her role, responsibilities, and her passions outside the office. Let’s get to know her better!
Q: Could you tell us about your background and how you ended up at Pistachio?
I’m originally from France and grew up there. I studied in Bordeaux, where I earned my master’s degree in international management. During my studies, I had the chance to do multiple internships abroad. My decision to go to Norway was somewhat random. At the time, I was interning in Mexico, and I really wanted to experience something completely different. I thought, “What could be more different from Mexico than Norway?” So, I applied and got accepted. I was supposed to stay for just one semester, but I loved it so much that I extended my stay to a full year.
During that time, I met my now-husband, and after completing my masters in France, I returned to Norway for an internship. That was when I decided I really enjoyed working in Norway, not just studying there. I saw a job posting for Pistachio, applied, and here I am!
Q: How would you describe your job and its responsibilities?
I initially joined Pistachio in a dual role as a Business Development Representative and Customer Success Manager, focusing on the French market. My responsibilities included prospecting, securing meetings, facilitating sales, onboarding clients, and maintaining relationships. In April, I transitioned to a full-time role as a Junior Success Manager. Currently, I manage several hundred clients, fostering strong and ongoing partnerships.
Q: What do you enjoy most about working at Pistachio? Are there any achievements you're particularly proud of?
I really enjoy working with my colleagues; we have a great team dynamic. Coming from a background in hospitality, I really enjoy interacting with people and providing excellent service for our customers. As for accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my swift transition to a full-time customer success role, which has been both challenging and very rewarding.
Q: What skills or qualities are essential for being successful as a customer cussess manager?
Being proactive, staying ahead of potential issues, and adapting to the diverse needs of the clients are key skills in my day-to-day work. I also find it crucial to respect cultural differences, especially since you will probably be handling clients from different backgrounds. I’ve learned to adjust my communication style based on who I am talking to.
Q: What three words would you use to describe Pistachio's culture?
Dedicated, supportive, and hard-working. I think it really defines the environment we have here at Pistachio.
Q: What advice would you give someone starting in customer success?
Don’t let the bad days define your experience. I believe that every challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow. That's the best piece of advice I can offer someone starting in customer success.
Q: What do you enjoy doing outside of work? Any fun facts that might surprise your colleagues?
Outside of work, I love cooking (with a glass of wine, of course!), hosting dinners, and reading. I also enjoy hiking, especially in my hometown of Clermont-Ferrand. A fun fact about me? Well, I'm not sure if it's a surprise, but I have two rabbits, and they're my pride and joy!
Q: What is the best piece of advice anyone has ever given you?
Don’t get stuck in the past - just keep moving forward. It’s simple but impactful!
Q: What is one thing you cannot live without?
One thing I would really struggle to let go of is mountains. I was born and raised in an area that is surrounded by volcanoes. So now I need mountains nearby to feel alive, and I need to have the option to climb a summit if I feel like it.
We hope you enjoyed getting to know Romy a little better. Stay tuned as we shine a light on the unique personalities that make our team so great!
We believe in a learn-by-doing approach over snooze-worthy videos.

“We lacked confidence that employees would recognise today’s phishing threats or respond correctly. Since using the Pistachio platform, they are more attentive and proactive in identifying potential risks. The solution is easy to manage, quick to implement, and highly effective.
“The platform is easy to implement and provides clear insights into employee phishing awareness. Its bite-sized learning encourages participation, saves administration time, and allows us to focus more on real threat detection.”
“We were looking for a practical way to improve cybersecurity awareness across the organization. Pistachio made training simple and engaging, and we’ve seen a noticeable improvement in employee awareness with minimal effort.”
“Pistachio removed the burden of planning campaigns, collecting data, and evaluating results. The program challenges each employee at their own level and provides clear, simple reporting. Pistachio has streamlined our awareness training and strengthened our organization’s cybersecurity.”
“Our goal was to help employees better recognize phishing emails and avoid malicious links. Pistachio made this easy and engaging, and we’ve seen a clear improvement in detection, fewer clicks on phishing links, and reduced data disclosure. With minimal ongoing maintenance, it’s an effective and low-effort solution.”
“Within weeks, Presence had flagged several incidents that could have otherwise been missed, including employees forwarding company data to personal accounts during offboarding. The alerts are reliable and actionable, so we've built a full investigation process around them. Although I was skeptical at first, the value was obvious almost immediately.”
“Pistachio has reduced our manual workload to zero with its automated phishing simulations and in‑box delivery of scenario‑based trainings. This has allowed our team to dedicate time to other important security initiatives while Pistachio handles our Security Awareness program seamlessly.”
“Presence automatically detects suspicious behaviour and gives us the visibility we need without constant manual oversight. Within the first few weeks we were already seeing alerts that would have otherwise gone unnoticed as the system learns what is usual and unusual behaviour for our environment.”
“Before Pistachio, security awareness was something we could only offer to a few customers. Today it’s part of every managed service we deliver, and we haven’t had to grow the team to make that happen.”
