Interim director in your company
I temporarily take on leadership and the decisions that are needed. Structure, commercial activity and a handover that lasts.
Strong people make strong businesses.
Keep learning.
Move forward with confidence.
MensFortia takes a practical, positive view of the future. We believe you can learn throughout your life: from what goes well, from your mistakes and from difficult experiences. Not everything is pleasant or within our control. But we can pause, look at what is there and explore the next step.
We do this with teams, leadership groups and entrepreneurs. The way you live comes with you to work: in how you build a business, lead and work with others. In a retreat in the Dordogne, or inside your company when I take on its leadership temporarily. Honest conversations, new insights and a chance to try things differently — with less pressure and more enjoyment.
What brings you here?
What needs a clear choice?
As a team, understand each other. As leaders, decide together. As an entrepreneur, reconsider your role. Two retreats and interim management, with real conversations and practical next steps.

Leadership needs space.
Or someone alongside you.
Retreat in the Dordogne
Sometimes distance helps: take your team, your leadership group or yourself to a suitable location in the Dordogne. Make time for the questions and decisions that do not move forward at the office.
Interim management in your company
Sometimes you need someone inside the business. I take on leadership temporarily while we prepare a situation your people can carry forward.
Ruud Meulenberg · founder of MensFortia
This is MensFortia
You do not need to know everything. Be willing to learn.
I am Ruud Meulenberg. I built a business with more than 75 people and sold it. Entrepreneurship and life keep teaching me: through success, mistakes and moments when things turn out differently.
I work with teams, leadership groups and entrepreneurs who want to move something forward or make a decision. In a retreat in the Dordogne, or as an interim director when a company needs someone at the helm. We look honestly at your role, your working relationships and your company's future. What have you learned? What will you do differently? We turn those questions into choices and agreements that fit.
Real conversations, in your language.
Ruud leads conversations in English, French and Dutch. For international teams too: one person to talk to, with attention to what each person wants to say.
From experience
“Today I can run my company in one hour a day — and it works better than with me on board.”
