Delivered personally.

Katie Kong

Founder & Managing Director
Calyx & Calyx Privé

Calyx Privé is the private-client division of Calyx, a cross-border strategic access platform connecting trusted partners across China, the Gulf, Africa and beyond.

For more than 15 years, Katie Kong has worked across China, Europe and the Middle East, helping entrepreneurs, business leaders and institutions build trusted relationships across cultures. Her career spans investment banking, strategic advisory and international business development, giving her a rare perspective on how meaningful access is created through trust, cultural understanding and long-term relationships.

As Calyx evolved, clients increasingly sought something beyond commercial opportunities. They wanted a trusted partner to help them navigate China itself—its healthcare, innovation, culture and relationships—with discretion and confidence.

Calyx Privé was created as a natural extension of that work. Today, every engagement is personally designed and overseen by Katie.

The most valuable access is built on trust, context and personal relationships.
