Schedule a Conversation with Kamyar ShahA fractional operations manager becomes necessary when your company has outgrown the founder running everything but is not large enough to justify a full-time VP of Operations or COO. The symptoms are predictable: the founder is working 60+ hour weeks, processes break when volume increases, and the team is reactive instead of proactive.
The fractional model works because operational leadership at this stage is about building systems, not maintaining them. You need someone who has built the same infrastructure hundreds of times, can install it in 90 days, and can train your team to run it.
Kamyar Shah has served as a fractional operations manager for over 650 companies through World Consulting Group. The engagement model is consistent: diagnose, design, build, train, and exit. Your company gets permanent operational infrastructure from a temporary engagement.

Process architecture.Kamyar Shah designs the operational processes your company needs: workflow management, approval chains, reporting cadences, and accountability structures.

Management infrastructure.A fractional operations manager builds the management layer between the founder and the front line. Kamyar Shah installs KPI dashboards, meeting rhythms, escalation protocols, and decision-making frameworks that let your managers actually manage.
