Miguel Facussé Barjum

Honduran businessman (1924–2015)

Miguel Facussé Barjum built a career in business at a period when the rules of commerce were themselves changing.

The record lists Miguel Facussé Barjum as Honduran businessman (1924–2015).

Miguel Facussé Barjum was born at Tegucigalpa in 1924. His recorded nationality is Honduras. He was educated at University of Notre Dame.

Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.

He worked as entrepreneur.

Enterprises outlive their founders or they do not, and that is the whole test.

That the business was built from Honduras shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
