Erica has played many roles in security: consultant, engineer, tester, analyst, incident responder, and even instructor. She has worked with many people and orgs, and knows what it feels like to try and move fast while staying secure - she even co-authored a book on the topic!

Erica is the Co-Founder, COO, and generally huge security nerd at SafeStack, where their goal is to help development teams (of all shapes and sizes) build secure things. She also does heaps of work in the community too. She is a lead organiser for a New Zealand infosec conference called Kawaiicon (Kiwicon), and also a Trustee for a charity called Digital Future Aotearoa. She also wrote a book about it called ‘Security For Everyone’, published by Holloway.
