The challenge

Disruption, whether you react to it or cause it, is the new normal for business. The rewards for getting it right are huge, and the consequences for failure are terminal. So why do so many organisations continue to fumble it? That is the challenge that Menkus & Associates addresses. The key is to understand the organisation’s readiness to act at the critical top and middle levels and then to deliver a tailored activation programme. That is what Menkus & Associates does: we help you activate your organisation’s capacity to succeed.

Who we are

Belden Menkus

Belden is the founder and Managing Director of MenKus & Associates, a consulting and CEO advisory firm that helps leaders fully activate their organisation’s potential to succeed. 

Belden personally helps top teams develop purposeful strategies and then turn their intentions into action and results. His approach is to be a strategic catalyst and thought partner, creating alignment, clarity and action.

Belden started his consulting career with McKinsey & Company, where he worked with clients in the UK, Europe, US and Japan across a wide range of service and manufacturing industries.  During that time he started working with clients to help them unlock their potential, rather than just telling them what they should do. Subsequently, he was recruited by CSC Index to help create and deliver a breakthrough methodology that used cutting-edge information technology to change organisational culture. Following that, he spent 5 years in a variety of hands-on start-up and corporate venturing roles, before returning to strategic leadership consulting in 2002.

Belden has a BA in Organizational Behavior from Brown University and a Master of Science in Management from the Sloan School at MIT.  He lives in London with his wife and children.  He holds British and American passports.
