If, as the saying goes, "Success has many fathers," then Tim Franson has a lot of kids.
Tim, as you may already know, has announced his retirement from Eli Lilly & Co. where he served for 22 years (most recently as Vice President for Global Regulatory Affairs).
Tim is a scientist -- and a believer in the art of the possible. Tim-Possible.
When I served at the FDA, Tim offered sage advice and pointed criticism. Both were served with the best interests of the public health in mind -- and his inevitable impish smile.
His one note, high-pitched "HA!" is a trademark.
One of the architects of PDUFA, Tim was also one one of the first people the FDA recruited to discuss the nascent concept of the Critical Path. He loved the idea but also helped to identify some of the problems.
Tim is a guy who, as the old Jewish joke goes, "knows where the rocks are."
His regulatory knowledge is nonpareil and his optimism is contagious.
We wish him well in all of his new endeavors.
