Julian Flannery is founder and CEO of Summus, a leading virtual specialty care company. Julian grew up in a family committed to medicine, and leveraging experience from a wide-ranging career in public policy, finance and information technology, founded Summus to combine service excellence with a tech-enabled marketplace model to change how patients and families access specialty care. Julian is dedicated to building a company committed to being of service to physicians and patients that supports better insights and decision making across all health questions. Prior to his work at Summus, Julian was a member of the management team and led Global Research at Gerson Lehrman Group (GLG), the world's largest membership-based platform for professional expertise. He oversaw GLG's service operation, products, and content, and directed management of its 400,000+ expert membership base. It was through this work and his understanding of the physician journey and experience that Julian arrived at the idea of creating a marketplace to attract leading physicians to solve the challenge of speed and access to high quality-medical expertise. Julian formerly worked at Morgan Stanley as Associate and Chief of Staff to the Chairman & CEO, and in special situations and investment banking.
