A fractional chief operating officer gives your company full COO-level operational leadership without the $300K–$500K annual commitment. Kamyar Shah serves as a fractional chief operating officer through World Consulting Group for companies between $2M and $100M.
The fractional chief operating officer model exists because most growing companies need a COO’s capabilities before they can afford or justify a full-time hire. The operational problems—founder bottleneck, broken processes, reactive management—are real. The budget for a $300K executive is not yet there.
A fractional chief operating officer provides the same operational leadership as a full-time COO, working part-time typically 10–20 hours per week. The difference: cost, risk, and speed. No 3–6 month search. No $50K recruiter fee. No 40% chance of a failed hire. The fractional model delivers operational leadership immediately.
Kamyar Shah has served as a fractional chief operating officer for over 650 companies through World Consulting Group. The operational infrastructure he builds—management systems, process architecture, team accountability—outlasts every engagement.
