He served as General Undersecretary of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship from 1979 to 1982.[3]

Unlike many others in his party, the Independent Democratic Union, Novoa was not religious and considered himself agnostic, and at times he voiced support several pro-choice positions.[4] Likewise, within the UDI he achieved to establish the dominance of his liberal-conservative faction,[5] which coexisted with Pablo Longueira's social-conservative current.[6][7] This last one had as its characteristic the political work in poor sectors,[6] whereas Novoa's faction was concentrated in the relation with businessmen,[6] the empowerment of think tanks like Libertad y Desarrollo (LyD)[7] or the training of then young or students' leaders from Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (PUC)[6] like Jaime Bellolio or Javier Macaya.[6]

In 2015, he was sentenced for tax crimes related to the Penta and SQM cases.[8][9][10][11][12][13] Six years later, Novoa died on 1 June 2021, aged 76, from emphysema.[14][2][15][16]
