Dr. Bodo Antonic, who holds a doctorate in chemistry, is a passionate diver and experienced crisis and turnaround manager, has been awarded the silver prize as “Interim Manager of the Year 2025” by the AIMP – in recognition of his extraordinary achievements in challenging transformation situations. The award recognizes not just a single project, but his consistent and effective work over many years.
Mr. Antonic was nominated by GOiNTERIM. “We have been working successfully with Bodo for years” says M. Ludwig Mayr, Managing Director of GOiNTERIM, “He especially implements projects in crisis and turnaround situations, the core area of interim management, so to speak!” Dr. Antonic has been working as an interim manager for over two decades – with a clear focus on the medical technology, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. His mandates usually take him to companies that are at a turning point. Whether as Managing Director, Business Unit Head or Sales Director: he takes on responsibility where others give up. His specialty: reorganizations in the B2B environment of the life sciences, where sales slumps, productivity slumps or far-reaching structural changes have to be overcome.
What sets him apart is not only his professional expertise, but above all his ability to convey calm, orientation and the power of implementation in uncertain, critical situations. He demonstrates strong leadership, decisiveness and the courage to embrace change, particularly in highly dynamic phases – qualities that also impressed the jury for this year’s award. In one of his most recent mandates, he succeeded in stabilizing a company, significantly reducing costs and establishing sustainable structures in a short space of time – with a noticeable effect on employees and results.
Martin L. Mayr particularly emphasizes that, in addition to his professional expertise, the good and clear cooperation with GOiNTERIM as a provider and the goal-oriented coordination is a key success factor in the mandates. “It’s always a pleasure to implement projects together!” says Mayr frankly.
Dr. Antonic exemplifies the effectiveness of modern interim management: fast, precise, responsible. He regularly shares his experience in specialist publications, interviews, lectures and columns.
His silver award impressively demonstrates the value and impact that professional interim management can have today.
Congratulations to Mr. Bodo Antonic! All the best for the future!
