Tech Queen: Arezou Zarafshan - Founder & CEO at Call Emmy | Queens of Tech

Arezou Zarafshan, the visionary Founder and CEO of Call Emmy, is revolutionizing the landscape for working parents through her innovative one-stop-shop platform.
A career-driven individual from the outset, Arezou's journey into motherhood brought about a transformative realization of the challenges faced by working parents. While flourishing in her executive role at a $1 billion enterprise, Arezou benefitted from the support of a full-time house manager and nanny named Emmy. This invaluable assistance allowed her to maintain focus on her professional aspirations while remaining present for her family. However, upon facing the loss of her job and the subsequent inability to sustain full-time household help, Arezou experienced firsthand the profound impact of this shift. Domestic responsibilities escalated, tensions arose within her household, and the delicate balance between career and family life began to unravel. Determined to find a solution that would empower working parents like herself, Arezou embarked on a mission to create Call Emmy.
Call Emmy emerged as a beacon of hope-a transformative platform that bridges the gap between busy parents and local household service providers. By offering on-demand assistance with household chores and childcare, Call Emmy became the go-to resource for those seeking support in managing the demands of both work and family life.
Arezou's entrepreneurial journey is a testament to her resilience and determination to effect positive change. As an immigrant, accomplished business leader, and devoted mother, she understands firsthand the challenges faced by working parents. Her commitment to empowering others extends beyond the realm of entrepreneurship; she serves as a mentor and coach to aspiring founders and small business owners, guiding them through the complexities of the startup landscape with unwavering support and encouragement.
Recognized as one of the Top 25 Most Powerful Women in Business in Colorado in 2021, Arezou's impact extends far beyond the confines of her business endeavors. With Call Emmy's success gaining traction in Colorado, Arezou's vision is set on national expansion, poised to bring the transformative benefits of her platform to working parents across the country.
Arezou Zarafshan's journey embodies the ethos of resilience, empathy, and empowerment. Through Call Emmy, she is reshaping the narrative for working parents, proving that with determination and innovation, it is possible to thrive in both career and family life.

Queens of Tech is a podcast series about raising the voice of workplace champions - 60+ questions in around 30-40 minutes with women, women of color, non-binary, and transgender influencers about their journey into STEM.
I, Jasmine Moradi, started the “Queens of Tech Podcast” initiative in May 2022 because I would like to retain more champions in the tech industry. Talent is out there, but our work environment needs to improve for women, non-binary, and transgenders to feel safer, stay authentic, get equity opportunities, and be valued for our contributions.
My goal is to raise the voices of tech champions around the world and together with companies, investors, and politicians raise the challenges and opportunities around Equity, Inclusive Diversity, and Belonging in our workplaces. Enough is enough!
Each podcast talk is built around 60+ questions regarding upbringing & education, career path, DEIB, and future advice. The purpose is to get to the heart of my guest’s life and career journey to inspire other girls and women, non-binary and transgender to unleash their full potential in tech to reach top leadership roles.
Representation matters! Your voice matters! Join the Queens of Tech movement!
