The Growth Coach of Greater Portland - Owner Bio Photo

I’m David Yassa and I’ve always believed that sometimes, even when we’re moving very quickly, we need to make time to take a step back, look for opportunities for growth, then create plans, strategies, and tactics to help us move forward even faster! And because of this approach, my clients are growing their businesses. I am being able to help them discover where they are at, rediscover where they want their businesses to be, and we walk that journey of growth together through structured processes.

"Before opening The Growth Coach, I was an active member and leader in the medical device industry. I built, managed and led marketing and sales teams across different countries."

I have experience in leading marketing and sales activities, launching and managing products, managing trade-shows, managing strategic accounts, building and sustaining relations with key opinion leaders – including C-Suite executives, and owning and controlling the Profit and Loss statements of different teams in different countries. Throughout my career, I’ve had a proven track record in sustaining double-digit compound annual growth rate. I always believe that my biggest achievement is leading and helping different teams to work effectively and in harmony growing the annual revenues of their companies by multiple folds. I am bilingual and I have an Executive MBA degree from Hult International Business School, where I graduated with honors. I’m also certified in The Growth Coach’s Strategic Mindset coaching process.

My passion has always been to help people learn, grow, succeed and then continue to grow. I’m hungry for that growth, not only for myself, but for my colleagues, employees and the companies I work with. I’m looking forward to putting that to work as a Growth Coach and helping business owners and leaders in my community find success and balance.

Our Approach

At The Growth Coach, we believe lasting growth begins with clarity — knowing your "why," connecting it to your "how," and aligning it with your team's "what."

  • Pause and reflect – we slow down to speed up.
  • Big-picture mindset – your business needs you thinking strategically, not just reacting operationally.
  • Behavior change + habit formation – we don't just give ideas; we build routines, accountability and systems that stick.
  • Guaranteed results – your investment is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
