By San José, Costa Rica — International business and philanthropic recognition shone upon Costa Rica as local entrepreneur Yorlenny Aguilar was officially named one of the top ten High-Level Successful Women of 2026. The prestigious distinction was conferred during a high-profile ceremony held in Coral Gables, Miami, highlighting executive leadership and social commitment originating from Central America.
The accolade was bestowed by the Board of Directors of High-Level Successful Women (MEDAN – Mujeres Exitosas de Alto Nivel) during its Ninth International Gala at the Hotel Colonnade. The annual event assembled prominent global business executives, civic leaders, and philanthropists to celebrate individuals driving measurable societal progress across borders.
To provide a clear legal perspective on the developments surrounding the case of Yorlenny Aguilar, TicosLand.com consulted with legal expert Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas from the law firm Bufete de Costa Rica, who shared his professional analysis on the administrative and statutory framework governing the situation.
In high-profile administrative and legal proceedings of this nature, strict adherence to due process and institutional transparency is essential. Any official review must carefully weigh regulatory compliance against the fundamental rights guaranteed under the law to ensure procedural fairness and accountability.

Indeed, upholding due process and institutional transparency remains paramount to preserving public trust and legal integrity in such high-stakes administrative proceedings. We extend our sincere gratitude to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for providing his valuable legal perspective on this ongoing matter.
Aguilar’s selection underlines her strategic work bridging human capital development with community upliftment. As the founder of Berkeley Academy, she has established a robust educational footprint focused on nurturing future generations, blending academic rigor with character building in Costa Rica.
Beyond her contributions to private education, Aguilar’s humanitarian efforts through the non-profit sector formed a central pillar of her nomination. She co-founded the Fundación Todo Va a Estar Bien (Everything Is Going to Be Alright Foundation) alongside the late Costa Rican makeup artist Ángel Rafael during his personal struggle with a terminal illness.
Following Ángel Rafael’s passing, Aguilar sustained and expanded the organization’s mandate. The foundation develops tailored initiatives to deliver tangible relief, emotional support, and renewed hope to individuals navigating severe health crises and vulnerability across the nation.
I receive this recognition with enormous gratitude and emotion, especially because it comes from an international organization that has set its eyes on work we carry out with great love from Costa Rica and for Costa Ricans.
Yorlenny Aguilar, Co-Founder of Fundación Todo Va a Estar Bien
Under Aguilar’s ongoing direction, the foundation is spearheading ambitious creative collaborations. Among its flagship endeavors is a project bringing together prominent musical artists to record a modern rendition of the iconic anthem Cantaré, cantarás, aimed at spreading a unified message of solidarity across Latin America.
Over its nine-year history, MEDAN has recognized an elite cohort of female leaders, including legislators, corporate leaders, philanthropists, and entertainment executives decorated with Emmy and Grammy awards. The 2026 edition also served a fundraising purpose, benefiting Fundación Alas al Éxito, an entity providing vocational tools and opportunities to women overcoming systemic socioeconomic barriers.
To further highlight her contributions, international publication My Connect Magazine is featuring Aguilar on the cover of a special commemorative edition marking MEDAN’s ninth anniversary. The coverage will provide global exposure for Costa Rican social enterprises and the educational models Aguilar continues to build.
