David Yassa – Your Growth Coach<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]I\u2019m David Yassa and I\u2019ve always believed that sometimes, even when we\u2019re 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.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1650268059904{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

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.<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]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 \u2013 including C-Suite executives, and owning and controlling the Profit and Loss statements of different teams in different countries. Throughout my career, I\u2019ve 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\u2019m also certified in The Growth Coach\u2019s Strategic Mindset coaching process.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1562868577192{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]My passion has always been to help people learn, grow, succeed and then continue to grow. I\u2019m hungry for that growth, not only for myself, but for my colleagues, employees and the companies I work with. I\u2019m looking forward to putting that to work as a Growth Coach and helping business owners and leaders in my community find success and balance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1562868602779{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
