THE RIGHT FIT
I work primarily with bootstrapped or lightly-funded SaaS founders and CEOs at $1M–$5M ARR, with real teams and real revenue, hitting the plateau that comes when the business outgrows how it’s been run.
I also take on operating-partner engagements with adjacent service businesses such as B2B tech, Fintech, professional services globally at similar scale.
Is this you?
One Problem You Can't Solve
You’ve been turning it over for months. You can’t solve it from inside the business, and it’s costing you money.
Growth Has Flattened
Not crashed but just stopped compounding the way it used to.
There is no clear vision or documented strategy, leaving the team moving in different directions.
You're The Bottleneck
Every meaningful decision still flows through you and you can feel it.
Vision. Strategy. Bottlenecks. In 8 weeks.
I don’t hand you a slide deck and disappear. I’m an active COO at X Securities right now — the frameworks I bring are running in a live business this quarter.
We work through three pillars over 8 weeks, with a diagnostic in Week 1 that finds the real problem you walked in misnaming, and a first action taken inside the engagement window.
The three-step pillars:
- Vision (Sessions 1–2): We diagnose what's really keeping you stuck and force the destination decision — scale, lifestyle, or a defined hybrid. You leave with a written 3-year vision calibrated to what you actually want.
- Strategy (Sessions 3–4): Three strategic moves for the next 90 days, with a written execution map, milestones, owners, and a one-question decision filter that turns away the daily noise.
- Bottlenecks (Sessions 5–6): The one or two real bottlenecks blocking your strategy — diagnosed to root cause, with the first action taken inside the engagement and a 6-month accountability system to keep you honest after I leave.
The Operator behind Consilium Dynamics
I’m Vahab Hasiri. Former COO at Aron Groups, where I scaled a fintech from $5M to $19.2M ARR with 250+ employees in two years. Co-founder and COO at X Securities today, still an active operator, not a retired one.
Author of The Rubicon Leader, a book on the founder-to-operator identity transformation.
I’ve made the hires you’re about to make. I’ve fired the people you’re about to fire. I’ve sold the deals you’re about to lose. The frameworks I bring you aren’t from a slide deck I made in 2019, they’re running in a live business this Monday.
HOW We Work Together!
One product. One fee. One specific problem solved through the V-S-B framework. The engagement has a beginning, a middle, and a clean end.

Trusted by Leaders in Critical Moments
“What stood out most was the structured approach to complex problems. Instead of surface-level recommendations, the discussion brought clarity, focus, and a practical path forward. I left with stronger conviction and a clear action plan.”
“Working with Vahab felt like having a strategic sounding board at the highest level. He helped me separate emotion from data, identify the real risks, and make a decision aligned with long-term goals. The clarity I gained was invaluable.”
“I came into this conversation carrying a decision I had delayed for months. Vahab helped me clarify the real constraints, pressure-test the options, and move forward with confidence. It was not advice, it was disciplined thinking applied to a real leadership challenge.”
