Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fractional COO?

A fractional COO is an experienced operations executive who works with a company on a part-time or project basis. They provide the same strategic and operational leadership as a full-time COO at a fraction of the cost, embedded inside the leadership team and accountable for outcomes.

How is a fractional COO different from a consultant?

A consultant analyzes and delivers recommendations. A fractional COO takes operational ownership. Kamyar Shah joins leadership meetings, makes decisions, and is accountable for results, not for a report.

What size company benefits most from a fractional COO?

Companies between $2M and $100M in revenue that have outgrown founder-led operations but are not yet ready to justify a full-time COO hire see the most measurable impact. The operational complexity is real but the overhead of a permanent executive is premature.

How long before we see results from a fractional COO engagement?

Most engagements produce measurable operational improvements within the first 60 days: cleaner decision rights, faster cross-functional handoffs, and reduced founder escalations. Structural changes to the operating model typically complete within 90 to 180 days.

What does a fractional COO engagement with Kamyar Shah cost?

Engagements are scoped based on the complexity of your operations and the required time commitment. Most arrangements run two to four focused days per week on a retainer basis. Book a 20-minute call to discuss what a specific engagement would look like for your company.
