Gustavo Sotero is one of the founders of WeAreGrom! Surrogacy Planners and father of 2 children born through surrogacy in the United States. After his own surrogacy journey experience, he understood intended parents needed someone to trust their journeys to, someone who their only responsibility is to care for the intended parents along the journey. Gustavo has a solid career of almost 15 years in a global beauty company holding top executive positions such as VP of Marketing and General Manager across different countries. With a strong budget controlling and project management background, Gustavo is obsessed with making sure his intended parents are making advised choices and most of all controlling the financial aspect of their project. Based on both professional background and surrogacy experience, Gustavo and Romain are committed to taking care of every single aspect of their intended parents’ surrogacy journey, from choosing the right clinic, the right agency, the right insurance, and anything else their journey might need. Gustavo speaks fluently French, Portuguese, English, and Spanish.
