Is the matrix inverse operation a strictly convex operator wrt Jensen's Inequality?

I would like to make the following statement as true;

Let S represent a (pxp) sample covariance matrix from a finite sample X, (n x p) n< infinity, n>p, from a general (possibly mixed) PDF G(.) with covariance (2nd central moment) V

Then E[inv(S)] = inv(V).*A where .* is the Hadamard product operator (Matlab notation) and

where a(i,j) > 1 (or do I need >=?)

This should follow from Jensen's Inequality if inv(X) is a strictly convex operation on X.
