Today I speak with Rachel Kyte. Rachel is the Dean of the Fletcher School. She has been a lifelong advocate for action on a range of critical issues, coming of age during the Thatcher Era’s relentless drive towards privatisation, away from a collective participatory society and towards individualism. She has experience working in NGOs and in international organisations, including at the IFC, World Bank and the UN, as a champion for energy access and the environment as a way to fight poverty and climate change. She graduated from the school’s Global Master of Arts Programme in one of its first classes in 2002. Rachel frequently speaks about issues close to her heart, but in this conversation I was keen to discover more about Rachel as a person.
