Michael Healy Lacayo (born c. 1962)[1] is a Nicaraguan businessman. In September 2020, he was elected to a three-year term as president of the Superior Council for Private Enterprise (COSEP), the country’s leading business chamber.[2] Previously he was president of the Union of Agricultural Producers of Nicaragua (UPANIC), as a sugar cane and banana producer.[1] He was also vice-president of COSEP.[1]

Healy is a member of the Civic Alliance for Justice and Democracy, an opposition group that emerged after the outbreak of the 2018–2021 Nicaraguan protests.[1]

In October 2021, Healy was arrested on allegations of money laundering and terrorism under Law 1055, three weeks before the 2021 Nicaraguan general election.[3] His predecessor as COSEP president and pre-candidate for president of Nicaragua, José Adán Aguerri, has been held since June on similar charges, one of 37 opposition figures Daniel Ortega’s administration has arrested.[3]

Personal life

Healy is married to Rossana Argüello, with whom he has three children.[4]
