Kelly Roache
Business Development Consultant
Solstice
Kelly has years of experience working as a diplomat and activist fighting for human rights and social justice, including in the energy space. At the U.S. State Department, she helped achieve a humanitarian evacuation in Syria, advanced the U.S.-India bilateral relationship, and led an Ambassador-level review and overhaul of the goals and objectives of the U.S. Embassy to the UAE.
While in graduate school, Kelly pivoted to intersectional social justice activism. As an organizer, she led a campaign to divest Princeton University's endowment from corporations complicit in human rights violations in the Middle East, which won majority support among the student body. Kelly has likewise campaigned for marriage equality and LBGTQIA+ rights in New Jersey.
Now with Solstice Initiative, she leverages her community organizing experience to address energy poverty by radically expanding community solar access to the vast majority of New Yorkers - particularly low-income households - traditionally locked out of the solar market. Kelly earned her BA cum laude and an MPA, both from Princeton University.
