Karen Estrada - Director
Karen brings a strong legal and international background to Gestacy, having worked as a lawyer in one of the Big Four firms and at a global company specializing in taxation and transfer pricing. Her expertise in legal compliance, risk management, and international operations is a cornerstone of our program's success and integrity. Beyond her professional accomplishments, Karen’s personal journey through infertility and IVF has deeply shaped her perspective. Having navigated the emotional and logistical challenges of assisted reproduction herself, she offers our intended parents not only expert guidance

Pedro Mendoza Lamuño - Director of Onboarding and Matching
As an intended parent himself—having pursued surrogacy with his husband—Pedro brings a deeply personal perspective to his role. He leads the intake process for Gestacy’s U.S. and Mexico programs and oversees matching for the Mexico program—supporting both parents and surrogates through the early steps of their journey with clarity and care. With a background in Political Science, Pedro has worked in international communications and government representation, including serving as part of a national delegation to the United Nations. His approach blends strategic insight with grounded empathy to help ensure every journey begins with trust and strong foundations.
