Julie M. Fleshman, JD, MBA

总裁兼首席执行官

In her 21 years of leadership at PanCAN, Julie Fleshman has been a global catalyst for change in the fight against pancreatic cancer. Her commitment began after she lost her dad to the disease, just four months after his diagnosis. He was 52. Fleshman wanted to know why more wasn’t being done – why her dad and thousands of other patients were offered no treatment options and sent home to die.

The pancreatic cancer landscape back then was quite different from today. Very little was known about the disease, only a handful of researchers were studying it and the five-year survival rate was just 4%.

In 1999, Fleshman was hired as PanCAN’s first employee, became its first Executive Director in 2000 and in 2004, became President and CEO.

Under her leadership, PanCAN has grown from a staff of one with annual revenues of $228,000 to a staff of over 150 with a budget of over $40 million.

Advocacy and grassroots efforts have expanded to 57 affiliates nationwide and yielded a $160 million increase in federal funding for pancreatic cancer research.

Fleshman鼓励召开的权威专家nd stakeholders in the field – researchers, healthcare professionals, industry and key opinion leaders. This allows her to build a continually expanding community of hundreds of pancreatic cancer thought leaders across the country who work in concert and devote their research efforts to improving patient outcomes.

During Fleshman’s tenure, the organization has awarded 218 pancreatic cancer research grants and has a projected total research investment of approximately $149 million, including the competitive Research Grants Program and leading-edge scientific and clinical initiatives.

Her collaborative leadership style enabled the organization to launch ground-breaking initiatives like PanCAN’s Precision PromiseSM——一个我们l trials platform designed to accelerate new treatment options for pancreatic cancer patients. In 2021, PanCAN launched the Early Detection Initiative, the largest prospective clinical trial of its kind, to create an early detection strategy for the disease.

弗雷什曼(Fleshman)受到国家媒体的专家追捧,包括《纽约时报》,CNN,PBS,头条新闻,CBS新闻和ABC新闻以及全国当地媒体。弗雷什曼(Fleshman)谈到了包括行业,患者,科学家,捐助者和志愿者在内的各种利益相关者群体,她经常与国会议员会面,讨论联邦投资在胰腺癌研究中的重要性。

弗雷什曼(Fleshman)拥有圣克拉拉大学(Santa Clara University)的JD和MBA学位,并获得了加利福尼亚大学圣塔芭芭拉(Santa Barbara)的学士学位,在那里她以优异的成绩毕业。她还在牛津大学和日本东京出国学习。

Fleshman has been honored for her leadership and dedication in the fight against pancreatic cancer by many organizations. In 2021, she was named Los Angeles Business Journal’s Nonprofit Executive of the Year. She serves on the boards of several cancer care and research committees and organizations. She recently served as a National Cancer Research Advocate for the National Cancer Institute (NCI), providing advice to the NCI Director with respect to promoting research outcomes that are in the best interest of cancer patients. She is currently a member of Clearity’s Board of Directors, a patient advocacy organization for ovarian cancer patients.

In addition, Fleshman is the Chair of the World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition, an international group of pancreatic cancer patient advocacy groups with a mission to drive transformational change for all those affected by the disease. PanCAN is a founding member of the Coalition, which includes more than 99 pancreatic cancer organizations representing 36 countries on six continents.
