Our World Egg Bank Team

The World Egg Bank Management Team
Diana Thomas, M.A.
President & CEO
In 1995, Diana Thomas recruited a donor to conceive her first son. Drawing from that experience, in 1996, Diana founded X and Y Consulting, Inc. an international egg donor recruiting agency that matched couples across the US and Canada with donors throughout the world. She has since managed over 2,000 donor-recipient matches.
Frustrated by the challenges involved in Fresh Egg Donation, in 2004, Diana, Drs. Jeffrey Boldt and James Akin founded Cryo Eggs International LP. In 2005, these efforts led the world’s first “frozen egg bank baby.”
Diana had her own three children with the assistance of egg donors, and has considerable experience working with the complex needs of recipients seeking out a donor’s assistance. Her unique perspective and dedication to both donors and recipients have been the foundation of The World Egg Bank.
