The Problem Kamyar Shah Solves

Growth-stage companies hit the same wall. Operations that worked at $2M are breaking at $10M. The founder is still the bottleneck — approving every decision, running every department, fighting every fire. The company cannot scale because it does not have operating infrastructure.

The answer is not more management consultants. Consultants deliver reports. They leave. Nothing changes. The answer is an operator who embeds in your team, builds the systems, trains the people to run them, and is accountable for the outcome.

That is what a fractional COO does. That is what Kamyar Shah does through World Consulting Group.

The Engagement

How Kamyar Shah Works

Every engagement follows the same model. No surprises. No scope creep. Designed to end.

Operations Diagnostic

Week 1–2. Full audit of your current operations — systems, team structure, reporting, bottlenecks, and decision flow. You get a clear picture of what is working and what is costing you growth.

90-Day Operating Plan

A prioritized execution plan — the specific systems, processes, and structural changes that will unlock growth. Not a strategy deck. A working plan with owners, milestones, and measurable outcomes.

Embedded Execution

Kamyar Shah runs the plan. Weekly executive team participation. Direct accountability for operational outcomes. Management reporting. Team development. Decision architecture that removes the founder from the bottleneck.

Transition and Exit

Every engagement is designed to end. The systems run without Kamyar. The team is capable. The company knows how to operate. If a full-time COO is the next step, Kamyar Shah helps define the role and hire for it.

What You Get

Fractional COO Deliverables

Specific outcomes. Not advisory services. Not workshops. Operating infrastructure your company can run after Kamyar Shah leaves.

Operating Infrastructure

Documented processes, decision frameworks, and management systems your company can run without the founder in every loop.

Management Reporting

Weekly and monthly reporting cadences. The right metrics, tracked the right way, surfaced at the right level. No more flying blind.

Team Accountability

Performance frameworks, goal-setting, and the management culture that turns a team of individuals into an execution machine.

Vendor & Partner Ops

Third-party relationships rationalized. Contracts, SLAs, and performance expectations set. Operational risk reduced.

Scaling Architecture

The structural changes — org design, role clarity, span of control — that let the company grow to its next revenue tier without breaking.

Founder Liberation

The engagement ends when the founder is no longer the operational bottleneck. That is the only success criterion that matters.

Fit

Who This Engagement Is Right For

✓

Company between $2M and $100M in revenue with an operational bottleneck that is limiting growth

✓

Founder spending more than half their time on operations instead of growth, strategy, or sales

✓

Team is capable but lacks the management infrastructure to execute consistently without constant founder involvement

✓

Company has outgrown its current operating model and needs C-level leadership to get to the next stage

✓

Leadership wants a fractional engagement that builds something permanent — not a retainer that creates dependency

✓

Considering a full-time COO hire but not yet certain of the scope or whether the timing is right

The Decision

Fractional COO vs Full-Time COO

✓ Fractional COO (Kamyar Shah)

✓ Starts in 1–2 weeks
✓ 650+ engagements of pattern recognition
✓ Designed to end — you own the systems

✗ Long ramp before contribution
✗ 40% of executive hires fail within 18 months
✗ Wrong hire = 12–18 months of disruption

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a fractional COO cost?

Kamyar Shah's fractional COO engagements run $5,000–$15,000 per month depending on scope, company size, and time commitment. A full-time COO costs $250K–$500K annually before equity and benefits. The conversation to determine fit and scope takes 30 minutes.

How quickly can Kamyar Shah start?

Most engagements begin within 1–2 weeks of the initial conversation. There is no lengthy proposal or RFP process. One conversation is enough to determine fit and define scope.

What size companies does Kamyar Shah work with?

Growth-stage companies from $2M to $100M in revenue. The primary fit is companies that have outgrown their current operating model and need C-level operational leadership to reach their next stage.

How long does a typical engagement run?

Most engagements run 6–18 months. Every engagement is designed to end — Kamyar builds systems, trains the team to run them, and transitions out. The goal is your operational independence, not a long-term retainer.

How is a fractional COO different from a management consultant?

A consultant delivers a report. A fractional COO embeds in your executive team, owns operational execution, and is accountable for outcomes. Kamyar Shah does not recommend — he builds and runs. The difference shows in the results.
