Novara Acquires Ensogo to Expand AI Capabilities in Operational Risk Management
Novara, an AI-enabled safety and operational risk management software company, acquired Ensogo, an AI-native sustainability platform, on June 9, 2026. The deal combines Ensogo's sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) capabilities with Novara's operational risk platform, extending the company's reach into carbon accounting, compliance workflows, and predictive risk modeling.
Ensogo, founded in Toronto, provides AI-powered software that helps organizations manage environmental reporting and compliance requirements. The acquisition expands Novara's presence in Canada and strengthens its foothold in manufacturing, mining, energy, oil and gas, and construction sectors.
Integration and Product Roadmap
Ensogo's technology will integrate with Novara's Flex platform as a native AI solution. The combined offering will support predictive risk modeling, natural language analytics across safety data, automated compliance workflows, ESG data collection, carbon accounting across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, and regulatory compliance.
Michael Bruns, Novara's chief executive, said the acquisition strengthens the company's ability to help organizations "proactively identify risk, improve productivity and navigate evolving environmental and regulatory demands."
Leadership Changes
Ensogo co-founder and CEO Elie Mouzon will join Novara as chief strategy officer. Mouzon spent more than two decades in EHS and ESG software, including executive roles at Intelex and Enablon, and served as a senior advisor with Verdantix, an analyst firm covering EHS and sustainability software markets.
Tommy Ng, Ensogo's co-founder and chief technology officer, will become Novara's vice president of AI engineering, focusing on agentic AI development.
The acquisition coincides with other recent leadership additions. Dave Lundstrom joined Novara in February as chief technology officer, and Jade Hendrix was appointed chief product officer. Hendrix brings 18 years of experience developing EHS, compliance, and workforce risk management solutions.
Market Context
Organizations increasingly face pressure to manage operational, safety, and sustainability risks through connected systems. The market is moving toward intelligent platforms that anticipate risk before it becomes an incident or compliance gap, Mouzon said.
For executives overseeing operational strategy and risk management, understanding how AI-driven platforms integrate safety and sustainability data is essential. AI for Executives & Strategy resources can help leaders evaluate how these tools fit into broader organizational goals.
Organizations managing complex operations in regulated industries may also benefit from exploring AI for Operations capabilities that improve safety and compliance outcomes.
