About Uplevel

Twenty years on the factory floor. Built into a practice for founders.

Our mission

Empower people and unleash their potential to create inspiring lives and successful businesses.

Kinga Kroth-Madarász founded Uplevel Coaching & Consulting after twenty years leading operations inside the automotive industry — from Quality Planner to Director Product Costing EMEA at Joyson Safety Systems, where she coordinated post-merger transformations across an entire region.

That operational grounding is now paired with AQ Level 2 certified coaching, authorization as an ANPC trainer, and advanced finance expertise in P&L, cost structures and salary grids — a rare combination of people, numbers and systems in one advisor.

Based in Arad, Romania, and available on-site, Kinga has already supported founders and management teams across industries including medicine, construction, industrial equipment, financial services and commerce. She brings 20+ years of operational and strategic leadership in industrial production to every engagement.

For Founders

Meet Marius — the business is growing, but he isn't getting any of his time back.

Marius built something real. Revenue is climbing. But every decision, big or small, still runs through him — and the bigger the business gets, the smaller his own life feels.

Kinga Kroth-Madarász speaking at an entrepreneurship conference

Where Marius is stuck

  • The business keeps growing, but his personal freedom keeps shrinking.
  • He's caught in an endless loop of small decisions the team can't make without him.
  • Constant operational stress leaves no room to think strategically or spot real growth opportunities.
  • The entrepreneurial dream of freedom feels further away every year, not closer.

What Marius actually wants

  • To become a strategic leader instead of the person who's indispensable to daily operations.
  • Systems and a team that run at full performance even when he isn't in the room.
  • To reclaim the time, energy and passion that made him start the business in the first place.
  • A business that's not just bigger — but genuinely his again.
The framework

The Founder Freedom System

A structured path from operational chaos to strategic leadership, built on four pillars that work together — mindset, systems, leadership and financial clarity.

Self-Story Mapping

Uncover the mindset blocks keeping you in the operational trap — and rewrite the story that's been running the business instead of you.

02
Management System Development

Install the meeting cadences, KPIs and reporting rhythms that let your team run the business without waiting on you for every call.

03
Leadership Development

Build the management layer and succession bench that turns employees into people who own outcomes, not just tasks.

04
Strategic Financial Consulting

Get real P&L clarity, cost structure and salary grids, so growth decisions are made on facts — not guesswork.

For Corporate Leaders

Meet Tom — leading transformation in an organization that wasn't built to move this fast.

Tom is responsible for growth and change across a mid-market organization. His leaders are capable — but change is outpacing their ability to adapt, and enterprise-level development programs are out of budget.

Where Tom is stuck

  • Leaders are struggling to keep pace with rapid business change — and it shows in missed opportunities, turnover and operational drag.
  • Failed adaptation is already costing the organization real money, not just morale.
  • Enterprise-level leadership programs don't fit a mid-market budget or timeline.
  • 8 to 15 key leaders need to build adaptability fast, without pausing growth, culture or performance.

What Tom actually wants

  • An adaptable organization that executes strategy faster, with less friction.
  • A leadership bench that can navigate constant change without losing engagement or performance.
  • Measurable, board-ready ROI from any development investment.
  • A practical, realistic program — not a scaled-down enterprise curriculum.

Kinga Kroth-Madarász at UniCredit Entrepreneurs Summit

Kinga helped us look beyond the numbers and fundamentally strengthen our business. She redesigned our business model, optimized our cost structure, and built a financial management system that gave us complete visibility into our performance.

Over six months of monthly strategic reviews, we used data—not assumptions—to make key business decisions. By refining our business model and continuously tracking the right KPIs, we reached our profitability target within six months while building a healthier, more financially sustainable business. We now understand exactly what drives our profitability, where our money goes, and how to make confident decisions for future growth.

I initially reached out to Kinga to grow as a leader, but her combination of strategic consulting and executive coaching transformed both my leadership and my business. My team became aligned around a clear vision, took ownership of execution, and the company no longer depended on my daily involvement. Together, we developed a long-term growth strategy that enabled us to scale the business while giving me back the time and freedom to focus on what matters most.

Over the following 12 months, our turnover increased by 40% and our profitability margin improved by 15%, all while achieving a healthier work-life balance. I highly recommend Kinga to any founder who wants to build a high-performing business, become a stronger leader, and create sustainable growth without sacrificing their personal life.

One of the most valuable things Kinga told me was simple: “Write down your wins.” Not for LinkedIn. Not for visibility. For clarity. I realised I had never actually put everything in one place. And when I did, two things happened: I saw patterns in my work I hadn't noticed before, and I stopped minimising what I've built. Thank you to Kinga for being an empowering mentor.
