Invidia Capital Management Welcomes Matt Bennett as New Partner in Healthcare Investment

Invidia Capital Management, a key player in the middle-market investment space, recently made headlines with the strategic appointment of Matt Bennett as a Partner. With a remarkable career spanning more than three decades, Bennett is set to enhance Invidia's commitment to investing in and scaling up innovative healthcare enterprises across North America.

Located in New York, Invidia Capital has carved out a niche in healthcare-focused investments since its foundation in 2024 by Jo Natauri, a former Goldman Sachs executive who led private healthcare investing on a global scale. The firm prides itself on its disciplined investments and collaborative approach, demonstrating a commitment to improving the quality of healthcare through strategic partnerships and growth transactions.

Before joining Invidia, Matt Bennett held the position of Managing Director and Operating Partner at New Mountain Capital since 2016. His tenure there was marked by a focus on growth transactions that encompassed a variety of industries.

He served as the CEO of CIOX from 2015 to 2016, showcasing his ability to lead organizations through transformative stages.

Bennett's knowledge in the field deepened with his executive roles at Ikaria, where he was actively involved from 2007 until 2015 as Executive Vice President, Global Medical Operations, and Chief Financial Officer. His past experience also includes significant contributions as Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer, and Chief Business Officer at VIASYS Healthcare, a publicly traded med-tech firm specializing in various healthcare areas such as respiratory care and orthopedics.

Reflecting on his new role, Bennett expressed enthusiasm, stating, "Joining Invidia is an exciting next chapter for me. Jo has established a firm grounded in conviction and collaboration, with a distinct approach to healthcare investing. I am eager to contribute to the firm’s ongoing success and help shape the future of healthcare through impactful partnerships and transactions that enhance healthcare quality."

Jo Natauri shared his perspective on Bennett’s addition to the team, saying, "I have long admired Matt's ability to merge operational excellence with keen investment insights. His extensive experience as a healthcare operator will provide invaluable perspectives as we explore opportunities for value creation within our portfolio. We are thrilled to have him join us."

In a competitive landscape where healthcare investments continue to evolve, Invidia Capital Management’s strategic hire of Matt Bennett signals a strengthened commitment to forging ahead with innovative solutions poised to transform the healthcare sector. Bennett’s extensive background and proficiency in both operations and investment will enable Invidia to advance its mission of uplifting and accelerating healthcare businesses.
