Novaworks provides an AI-native operating system built on the ServiceNow platform.

The company focuses on mid-enterprise organizations seeking to modernize workforce operations.
The appointment of Meg Bear reflects a strategic effort to address the shifting dynamics of the modern workforce. Most enterprise systems were originally designed for a traditional employee model that does not account for the current mix of contractors and intelligent agents. Bear’s background in building and scaling enterprise software at the intersection of people and technology aligns with Novaworks' mission to simplify operations and improve employee experiences at scale.
"Meg has spent her career at the intersection of people, technology, and business transformation," said Kelley Steven-Waiss, co-founder and CEO of Novaworks. "She understands both why legacy systems failed and what it actually takes to build something better. As we build the agentic operating system for the total workforce, her perspective is exactly what we need."
Novaworks is positioning itself as the operating model for a new reality where diverse worker types contribute to organizational output. By starting from current operational challenges rather than legacy assumptions, the platform seeks to reduce the complexity associated with fragmented workforce systems. Bear’s experience with industry leaders such as Oracle and SAP provides a foundational perspective on navigating major technology shifts and operating model changes.
"We're past the point where you can manage a workforce with a system built for one type of worker," said Bear. "Employees, contractors, intelligent agents, they're all in the mix now. The operational complexity is real, and so is the opportunity for organizations willing to rethink the foundation."
Novaworks recently launched with $8 million in seed funding, featuring strategic participation from ServiceNow Ventures and Bell Ventures. The platform leverages ServiceNow’s trusted infrastructure to help mid-enterprise organizations modernize their operations without increasing technical complexity. By unifying people, agents, and processes, Novaworks aims to create long-term value and greater efficiency for organizations navigating the transition to an AI-integrated workforce.
