Friska Wirya is a thought leader, TedX speaker, and Global Change Expert. Friska was the former Head of Change at the biggest gold miner in the Southern hemisphere, leading digital transformation changes to achieve US$170m annual saving. She infiltrated a digital-first culture across 4 countries to create a strong foundation to drive adoption of new and emerging technologies, achieving recognition such as the Most Innovative Hard Hat from Apple and various industry awards. 

Prior to this, Friska was the Global Change Lead for multi-million dollar projects spanning technology, structure, process and people, impacting +23,000 at Tier 1 engineering firm Worley, and was one of the founding consultants for Fujitsu Australia’s change practice.

• How Friska prepared for TedX, and why she invested and engaged experts to support with the preparation 
• Practical advice on how to overcome fears of public speaking
