The Journey: From a Small Multilingual Contact Center to a Global Leader
Identifying the Demand for Multilingual Call Centers
Jackie Xu’s journey started in 2004, when voice-over IP (VoIP) technology was emerging as a game-changer for the call center industry. Having immigrated from China to Canada, Jackie noticed that many businesses in North America struggled to provide language support to international customers.
Toronto’s multicultural population and diverse consumer base made it clear—companies needed native speakers to handle customer interactions in multiple languages. Callnovo was founded to fill that gap, initially offering customer support in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
As globalization accelerated, demand for multilingual contact center services skyrocketed. By 2012, Callnovo expanded to serve over 20 languages, partnering with Fortune 500 companies that needed scalable contact center solutions. Today, Callnovo serves clients across North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia with a workforce of 2,500+ agents.
