Kenji Saito - Co-Owner
Long before Kenji Saito, founder of J baby, received a B.A.in International Business Management from the University in the prefecture of Fukuoka, Japan, he dreamed of someday moving to America. Upon graduation, he tested the waters beyond Japan and traveled to Australia and worked for several multi-national corporations designing and implementing marketing strategies which targeted the Japanese and Asian markets. In 2000, he relocated to Los Angeles, working as a Marketing Research Analyst for a number of Japanese companies. In 2012 he started J baby, offering logistical support to Japanese Intended Parents who were seeking IVF treatment options that were not available to them in Japan. In 2015, he expanded J baby with his husband, Michael Lacoe, into a full-service egg donation and surrogacy agency specializing in Japanese egg donors.

Michael Lacoe - Co-Owner
A native Los Angelino, Michael attended UCLA Film School graduating cum laude with a B.A. in Motion Picture and Television Production. Over the next 15 years, he went on to launch a successful career in network television, responsible for producing and/or directing over 150 hours of prime-time episodic dramas. His fascination with the intersection of business-building and the creative process led him into the corporate realm where he worked for several years overseeing corporate communications for numerous technology startups in Los Angeles and Vancouver, Canada. In 2013, with his husband, Kenji Saito, they started Jbaby, a full-service egg donation and surrogacy agency specializing in the special needs of its Asian clientele. Michael places a high priority on maintaining a mindful balance between career, family and giving back to the community. For the last three years, he has been certified by the California Dept. of Aging as a volunteer HICAP (Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program) Counselor, advocating on behalf of disabled and senior Medicare beneficiaries.
