At the Coalface
At the Coalface is a series of conversations hosted by Philippe Rose.
Philippe and his 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.

Samer Sobh - First aider turned entrepreneur
Today I’m speaking with Samer Sobh. We used to be team mates working on a particularly challenging energy project in South Iraq. We used to chat over dinner at the camp’s canteen after long work days, and as I spoke about my experience on the Global Master of Arts Programme (GMAP) at the Fletcher School that I was doing, I think Samer caught the bug as well and joined shortly thereafter. Samer is warm, charismatic and generous, very dedicated to everything he is doing, hugely entrepreneurial (now co-leading a start-up) and also passionate about his country’s future, Lebanon.
