Personalized strategy for organizations that expect more.

From executive coaching to talent strategy, everything Uplevel does is designed specifically for your business, your team, and your goals. We identify the real challenge, build the right solution, and stay engaged until it delivers.

Let's Talk

Our Services

Uplevel offers three distinct service lines, each designed to address a specific layer of organizational performance. Whether the work begins with an individual leader, a team, or a company’s talent strategy, our approach is precise, personalized, and built to last.

Upleaders

Executive coaching and leadership development.
We work with senior leaders and managers to identify what is holding them back, sharpen how they lead, and build the kind of presence that earns lasting results from their teams.

Uptalent

Strategic HR consulting for organizations that demand more than a standard solution.
We work alongside leadership teams to design and implement talent strategy, address burnout, measure psychological safety, and build compensation structures that reflect the value of their people.

Upskills

Professional development for individual contributors who are ready to grow beyond their technical expertise.
With a focus on the technology industry, we develop the communication, influence, and self-leadership skills that distinguish high performers and accelerate careers.

About Carolina

Carolina Venegas is a certified Psychologist and Coach with over fifteen years of experience in clinical psychology and more than a decade in human resources. Before founding Uplevel, she held senior roles at multinational companies including Hewlett Packard, Prodigious, and Mondelez, leading talent development, employee relations, and regional workforce transformation programs. Her work has spanned leadership development curriculum design, HR operational models built on agile methodologies, and executive coaching for organizations across industries.

What sets her apart is the intersection of clinical psychology and organizational strategy. She understands people at a deeper level than most HR consultants, and understands business at a deeper level than most coaches. That combination is what makes every Uplevel engagement precise, personalized, and effective.

Outside of work, Carolina lives in Alajuela, Costa Rica, with her partner, eight cats, and a dog. When she is not working, she is usually baking vegan treats or escaping the heat on a trip to the mountains.

“This has been one of the greatest programs I have participated in. It has an individual focus to improve areas that either I am interested in or that others who work with me recognize as improvement areas. The content reviewed has been very effective and has easily allowed me to apply it in my day-to-day work. I really recommend this program as it really helped us identify where we need to work to become better leaders. Our host, Carolina, demonstrated great knowledge and professionalism during our sessions.”

“Being a people leader for almost 9 years, I'm sometimes a bit skeptical about development offerings presented to corporate customers, where scenarios tend to be excessively simplified and differ a lot from the challenges we face in our day-to-day. Since day one I noticed this program was not just a 'one-size-fits-all' recipe, but something tailored to my needs, designed after I completed a 360 assessment, taking into account my own feedback and flexible enough to make adjustments along the way as business needs changed. Carolina is a great coach who demonstrates a genuine interest in people development and is there to guide me throughout my journey. I'm thankful to HPE Costa Rica for this opportunity and I'm looking forward to continuing to apply these lessons in my professional and personal life.”
