Diego, Managing Director of Inclusive Surrogacy, is in charge of Marketing and Public Relations. He studied Marketing and Communications at Columbia College Chicago. His interest for diversity and inclusion led Diego to be part of the San Antonio LGBT Chamber of Commerce as the Vice-president, where he helped to facilitate corporations to create a professional and business relationship with the city of San Antonio, Texas.
Diego’s passion for the surrogacy process was born from his experience of helping others in his community and volunteering in different Non-Profit organizations and also from his experience with his sister, who achieved her dreams of having a family through surrogacy.
Diego is a great advocate for the community and enjoys meeting and connecting people at a personal and professional level.
Alejandra Martinez - Director of Client Development at Inclusive Surrogacy
Alejandra studied Business Administration at the Instituto Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico and received a Master's Degree in Commercial Management and Marketing from the Camilo Jose Cela University, Madrid in 2005. She met her husband Carlos in Madrid, where she's been living for 15 years. Alejandra has worked for several companies in Mexico and Spain. Her last position was as Director of Human Resources and Marketing at Loetrans, Madrid.
Alejandra and Carlos' surrogacy journey began after they experienced three failed pregnancies. They decided to consider surrogacy as a way to achieve their dream of parenthood. Their dream came true in May 2012, when Martina and Mauro, their adorable twins, were born in the city of Moline, Illinois. Her personal experience motivates her every day to help other intended parents on this incredible journey.
Alejandra enjoys traveling and spending time with her family. She's forever grateful for surrogacy.
