He is the Managing Partner of World Consulting Group, working with companies between $2M and $100M in revenue to build the operational infrastructure that enables growth without proportional cost increases."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is a fractional COO?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A fractional COO is an experienced chief operating officer who works with a company on a part-time basis, typically 10-20 hours per week, rather than as a full-time hire. They provide executive-level operational leadership at a fraction of the cost, making them accessible to growth-stage companies that need operational expertise but are not yet ready to justify a full-time COO."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What does a fractional COO cost?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Fractional COO engagements are typically structured as monthly retainers. Costs vary based on scope and hours required. Most growth-stage companies find that a fractional COO delivers significantly more value than the retainer cost through improved operational efficiency and faster execution."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What companies benefit most from a fractional COO?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Growth-stage companies between 10 and 200 employees benefit most. These organizations have outgrown founder-led execution but are not yet at the scale to justify a full-time COO. The clearest signal: revenue is growing but margins are shrinking, headcount is increasing but output is not scaling, and the founder remains the operational bottleneck."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the difference between a fractional COO and a full-time COO?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A fractional COO brings the same executive-level operational expertise as a full-time hire but works on a defined engagement basis. Key differences: significantly lower cost, no equity or benefits required, faster to engage, and flexible scope. A fractional COO is designed to build systems that eventually run without them."}}]}</script> <section class="tagline-band"><div class="container"><p class="tagline-band-quote"> Bringing Consulting to You &mdash; Where Strategy Meets Execution <span class="tagline-band-attr">&mdash; Kamyar Shah</span></p></div></section><footer class="site-footer" role="contentinfo"><div class="footer-inner"> <span class="footer-brand">Kamyar Shah</span><ul class="footer-links"><li><a href="https://kamyarshah.com/">Home</a></li><li><a href="https://kamyarshah.com/about/">About</a></li><li><a href="https://kamyarshah.com/fractional-coo/">Services</a></li><li><a href="https://kamyarshah.com/blog/">Blog</a></li><li><a href="https://kamyarshah.com/contact/">Contact</a></li><li><a href="https://kamyarshah.com/contact/">Book a Call</a></li></ul> <span class="footer-copy">&copy; 2026 Kamyar Shah.
