Tim Joslin

BSc (Hons), ARCS

Senior Consultant

Portfolio Management and Commercialisation

With over 41 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, Tim has built a distinguished career in commercial, sales, and communication roles with leading global companies such as Sanofi-aventis, Abbott UK, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Eli Lilly. His expertise spans across big pharma and consultancy, with significant contributions to both fields. He retired from full-time employment in February 2023 but continues to lend his expertise as a Contractor for tranScrip, focusing on commercial and infectious disease projects.

Throughout his career, Tim has successfully led and delivered a wide range of commercial projects, leveraging his deep understanding of global pharmaceutical markets and product development strategies. At tranScrip, he played a pivotal role in driving commercial strategy and led several developmental projects that required complex FDA and EMA interactions (including Type V DMF, IND, and CTX submissions). His work covered various therapeutic areas, including novel small molecules, biologics, generics, and biosimilars, spanning both broad and orphan indications.

Prior to his consultancy work, Tim spent 26 years in big pharma, holding senior positions at national, regional, and global levels. He was instrumental in developing and executing commercial strategies for promoted products across the global, European, and UK markets. His responsibilities included managing key product portfolios post-patent, conducting due diligence on in-licensing assets, and leading commercial strategies for products from early discovery through to Phase 3 development.

He has extensive experience in the anti-infective, respiratory, allergy, and cardiovascular therapeutic areas, guiding teams through commercial assessments, product development, and launches. His work involved strategic planning across the entire product life cycle, from target product profiles with research teams to the execution of pre-launch, launch, and post-patent strategies at both national and global levels. This expertise allowed him to maintain sales volumes while maximizing profitability.

At tranScrip, Tim led the Internal Medicine and Respiratory franchise, answering critical scientific, clinical, and regulatory questions for clients regarding developmental and marketed products. He played a vital role in multidisciplinary teams, engaging with regulatory agencies such as the FDA and EMA to steer projects through complex scientific and clinical evaluations.

His deep understanding of the pharmaceutical landscape, combined with his extensive commercial assessment experience, enabled him to evaluate products and companies across a broad spectrum of therapeutic areas. He conducted detailed analyses of the science, clinical development potential, commercial differentiation, pricing, and reimbursement. These assessments provided a strong foundation for constructing peak sales forecasts, guiding clients on the potential of assets within their lead indications and alternative opportunities.

Tim holds a BSc(Hons) in Zoology from Imperial College of Science and Technology, London. Over a 9-year period, he served as a Senior Partner at tranScrip (partners and Limited), where he was based in the UK and specialized in the US and European markets. Before joining tranScrip, he held leadership positions for 12 years at RPR/Aventis/sanofi-aventis in the UK, France, and the USA, including Global Director of Anti-infectives and Global Director of New Products. He later became Managing Director Europe at Defined Health (now Lumanity BioScience), where he focused on commercial assessments in anti-infective, respiratory, CNS, and orphan drug fields, working across Europe and the USA.

Today, Tim continues to apply his extensive industry knowledge and leadership skills as a Contractor for tranScrip, contributing to key projects and driving success in commercial and infectious disease sectors.
