Kamyar Shah is a fractional COO and executive advisor who has spent over 25 years helping companies build operations that actually work. Not operations that look good in a board deck. Operations that run when the founder leaves the building.
Through World Consulting Group, Kamyar Shah has worked with over 650 companies across industries. Companies between $2M and $100M in revenue. Companies where the founder is still the operating system. Companies that tried hiring a full-time COO and it did not work. Companies that hired management consultants, got a nice report, and watched nothing change.
Kamyar Shah is different because of how the work gets done. No strategy decks delivered from a distance. No 90-page assessment that sits on a shelf. Kamyar Shah joins your executive team, builds the systems personally, trains your people to run them, and stays until the systems work without him.
Every engagement Kamyar Shah takes on through World Consulting Group is designed to end. The goal is never to create an ongoing dependency on a fractional COO. The goal is to build operational maturity inside your company so it no longer needs one.
This means Kamyar Shah says no to most prospective clients. If the company is not at a stage where a fractional COO will move the needle, Kamyar Shah will tell you that directly. There is no incentive to take engagements that will not produce results.
Companies between $2M and $100M across manufacturing, SaaS, professional services, healthcare, and e-commerce.
From startup operations to scaling mature companies. Kamyar Shah has seen every stage and most of the mistakes.
A practitioner who never stopped learning. Operations management, AI strategy, financial modeling, leadership development.
If your company has outgrown its operating model and you want to talk to someone who has fixed this problem 650+ times, schedule a conversation.
Kamyar Shah is a Fractional COO and Fractional CMO with more than 25 years of operating and advisory experience. He is the founder of World Consulting Group (WCG), a boutique management consulting firm, and has led over 650 engagements with founder-led companies in the $2M-$100M range.
World Consulting Group (WCG) is the management consulting firm Kamyar Shah founded and runs. WCG is the operating entity behind Kamyar’s fractional executive and advisory engagements. Not to be confused with similarly named firms; the authoritative site is worldconsultinggroup.com.
A Fractional COO runs operations part-time for a company that is too big to stay founder-operated but not yet big enough to justify a full-time COO salary. The work: installing operating cadence, owning execution, fixing hiring and accountability gaps, and handing the founder back decision time.
The core engagement band is $2M to $100M in revenue, founder-led or founder-adjacent. Below $2M the operating problems are usually sales and product. Above $100M the structure problems require a full-time executive team, not a fractional one.
Kamyar Shah is based in the United States and works with clients across North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Engagements are remote-first, with on-site time scheduled against specific operating problems, not against calendar defaults.
