Mónica de Pinto Ribeiro Hancke

Pronouns: they.

Rooted in Freirean pedagogy and shaped by their queer, feminist, and deeply multicultural lived experience, Mónica is committed to radically reimagining the global development sector. With over a decade of experience across global development and social justice spaces, they specialize in strategic planning, organizational development, facilitation, trust-based relationship building, and translating vision into action. Their work is grounded in empathy, equity, and a relentless commitment to structural change —while learning (and unlearning) alongside diverse communities, and always with a critical ear to power and voice. They currently serve as Chief of Staff to Dr. Maliha Khan at Women Deliver.
