Background
Heather Enderby is the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer of MBF Healthcare Partners, a Coral Gables, Florida private equity firm that has invested exclusively in healthcare services companies since 2005. She joined the firm as CFO in June 2018 and is responsible for its financial and compliance reporting across the fund and its portfolio.
She brings more than 35 years of public- and private-company financial experience. Before MBF, she served as Chief Financial Officer of Brightline, the Florida express passenger-rail company backed by Fortress Investment Group. Earlier, she was Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Ryder System's Global Fleet Management Solutions Division and Senior Vice President of Corporate Finance for Miami-based infrastructure contractor MasTec, Inc. She began her career at Deloitte & Touche LLP, spending roughly ten years in audit and consulting.
Enderby holds a Bachelor of Accounting Science degree and an Honors Degree in Accounting Science from the University of South Africa. She has passed the CPA exam and is a Chartered Accountant. She is based in the Key Biscayne / Coral Gables area of South Florida.
As CFO/CCO rather than a deal-sourcing partner, Enderby's role centers on fund finance, compliance, and portfolio-company financial oversight — she is listed as being involved with portfolio companies including ABA Connect, Carisk Partners, Palm Medical Centers, and Strive Dental Management.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Invests only in healthcare services — specifically provider-based services, payor services, and managed care; the firm does not pursue deals outside healthcare.
- Firm-level check sizes of roughly $10–50 million, deployed as control equity in existing platforms plus growth-stage add-ons.
- MBF describes itself as "operators who evolved into investors," emphasizing hands-on operational guidance over passive capital; the founding team (Mike Fernandez / Miguel "Mike" B. Fernandez and partners) brings decades of collective healthcare operating experience.
- Targets established, well-managed healthcare companies where operational and financial discipline can accelerate growth — consistent with Enderby's finance/compliance mandate of building institutional-grade financial reporting into portfolio companies.
