When You Need an Interim COO

The need for an interim COO is usually urgent. Your COO left unexpectedly. You are in a period of rapid growth that is overwhelming your operational capacity. A merger or acquisition requires immediate operational integration. You cannot wait 3-6 months for a permanent hire.

An interim COO bridges the gap between the current crisis and a permanent solution. Kamyar Shah provides interim COO services through World Consulting Group, stepping in within days, not months. The advantage of an interim COO with 25+ years and 650+ engagements is that there is no ramp-up period.

The interim COO role also serves a diagnostic function. By the time the interim period ends, you know exactly what the permanent role requires, making the eventual full-time hire far more likely to succeed.
