At the Coalface is a series of conversations hosted by Philippe Rose.
Philippe's guests share stories about their life beyond the headlines of international affairs. They look for lessons learned about making an impact in the world as practitioners in diplomacy, international organisations, NGOs, journalism and the private sector.
Many of Philippe's guests are connected by their common experience of taking time away from work to attend Fletcher School's Global Master of Arts Programme.

Pam Onyanyo - Building an energy system in sync with the people who need it
In this episode, I speak with Pam Onyanyo. Pam is such an amazing source of inspiration. She had a modest upbringing in rural Kenya but with grit and determination found her way to the US, where she built an amazing life for herself, climbing the career ladder of corporate America. But there was always a purpose behind this drive, to come home and apply what she learned where it could make an impact. She successfully combined her business acumen, her understanding of local livelihoods, her familiarity with project finance and her access to regulators. Her entrepreneurship in solar and off-grid solutions for underserved communities is remarkable and I’m delighted Pam is happy to share some of her lessons learned with us.
