Vahab Hasiri The operator behind Consilium Dynamics
We install the systems WE RAN OURSELVES.
Consilium Dynamics is an operations advisory for founder-led service companies. We take founders out of daily operations through coaching, consulting and, in select cases, a fractional COO seat. We work on one problem: the business depends on the founder for decisions it should be able to make without them.
Most firms arrive with a diagnosis and leave with a document. We install decision rights, ownership, and operating rhythm, then test whether they hold by having the founder step away. What survives is what we built correctly.

Operating seats, not advisory ones.
Vahab has spent his career inside companies rather than beside them, measured on what changed, not on hours logged.
He held the COO seat at Aron Groups from November 2022 to April 2025, while revenue went from $5M to $19.2M and the company grew to 250 people across several countries.
At a sixty-person trading company he built the sales, customer success, and retention functions from nothing, along with the processes and the marketing team behind them. He was most recently co-founder and COO of X Securities, which he left in June 2026 to work on Consilium Dynamics full time. Alongside these seats, he has held fractional and advisory roles with several other companies.
He is the author of The Rubicon Leader, on the transition from founder to operator, and writes on decision-making and operational clarity. He works from Toronto with clients across Canada and the United States.
Most founders do not have a discipline problem. They have a company that was designed around them and never redesigned.
Vahab Hasiri · Principal
Four things we believe.
They shape every engagement, and they are the reason the work ends rather than continues indefinitely.
-
01
Structure beats effort
Founders who become the bottleneck are not lazy or disorganised. They are running a company that was designed around them and never redesigned.
-
02
The test is absence
A system that works while you are in the room is not a system. It is you. The only honest proof is what happens when you leave.
-
03
We leave, the systems stay
If the business needs us in order to keep running, we built the wrong thing. Every engagement is designed to end.
-
04
The founder changes too
A new structure will not survive a founder who keeps taking the work back. The shift from operator to owner is part of the job, not a side effect of it.
What the seat produced.
Our engagements to date have been in financial services and trading. The operating problems were the ones every service business hits at the same size, and that is what transfers.
