About Katrina Marie Congson

I’m an executive support and business operations professional with 5+ years of experience serving as a steady, trusted extension of senior leadership in high-demand, high-accountability environments. Currently at Adcentrx Therapeutics and previously at Vivo Capital, I partner closely with executives to bring structure to complex priorities through executive and board support, operational systems, and cross-functional coordination so leaders can focus on critical business needs without operational friction.A big part of my role is doing the preparation work that keeps those priorities moving. That means understanding the rhythm of the business and how each leader works best: anticipating needs, organizing priorities, and ensuring the right information, people, and context are in place for effective outcomes.At my core, I’m someone who values organization, preparedness, and follow-through. I naturally gravitate toward building systems that make work easier for others and creating environments where people can show up ready, supported, and able to do their best work. If that sounds a bit ESTJ, you wouldn\'t be wrong.
