Hi, my name is…
Erica Truong.
She’s our Senior Consultant at SysGroup. With a passion for problem solving, security strategy and genuinely great food, Erica brings curiosity, adaptability and sharp insight to helping organisations strengthen their security posture and resilience.
What was your very first job?
My first job was a Barista behind an espresso machine, crafting morning pick‑me‑ups and teaching myself how not to panic while pouring latte art.
If you could swap jobs with anyone for a day, who would it be?
If I could trade jobs with anyone for a day, I’d choose Lisa Su – because who wouldn’t want to run at her clock speed?
If you had to give a TED Talk on something random, what would it be?
Why we love learning random trivia knowledge – the psychology of trivia and why random facts make us feel connected.
What’s one thing you’re looking forward to learning here?
Almost every day looks different, working on high-impact problem solving and helping different organisations strengthen their security posture, navigating risk and building stronger controls to support long-term business goals.
If you could invent one office perk, what would it be?
Taking inspiration from Google – workspace nap pods to recharge, boost productivity and focus especially after those heavy lunches!
What’s the most exciting part of your role at SysGroup?
Teaming up and working with some brilliant minds to problem solve challenges, whether complex or small through risk analysis, compliance alignment, mitigation and rapid response. I get to dig into and help organisations protect themselves, strengthen their resilience and stay aligned with focused strategies.
When you’re not working, how do you like to spend your time?
When I’m not working, I’m usually on the hunt for genuinely good food – whether it’s a hidden local spot or a destination worth the detour.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received (work or life)?
You can’t be what you can’t see. There’s something transformative about witnessing others do the very thing you once thought was out of reach.
