[3] Healey attended high school in Oceanside, California, followed by Harvard College, where he was a member of the varsity wrestling squad.
[5] Upon graduation from law school, Healey joined Goldman Sachs as an associate in the Mergers and Acquisitions Department,[6] then transferred to a group that provided investment-banking services to financial institutions, where he worked under J. Christopher Flowers.
[8] In November 1997, Healey led AMG’s initial public offering in which the company raised $176 million, priced at $23.50 per share.
[9] With proceeds from the offering, AMG continued to expand, and named Healey president and chief operating officer in October 1999.
[5] AMG’s business model of leaving a portion of equity with each firm’s management as motivation for continuing to produce good performance and growth has been highly successful under Healey's leadership.
[3] Healey has also been noted for being extraordinarily selective of his affiliate partners, stating in a recent interview that the company ultimately backs away from many more potential investments than it pursues.
[4] AMG opened the firm’s first distribution office in Australia in 2007, and thereafter expanded into Europe, Asia and the Middle East, to help its affiliates develop relationships in overseas markets.
[16] In May 2018, Healey was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (a motor neuron disease otherwise known as ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease) and AMG announced that Healey was stepping back to become Executive Chairman while Nate Dalton, AMG's long-time President and Chief Operating Officer, was named CEO.
