Egon Vik worked for me in the position as Market Communications Manager in the period September 2009 till July 2011. His responsibilities were all aspects of communication with media and agencies, and he has been central in defining our marketing tactics together with our customers. He also held the responsibility to develop our media strategy as well as managing a project to fully upgrade MCP’s profile manual. He was also responsible for developing and implementing MCP’s crew training project. It has been a pleasure working with Egon, and he has performed his tasks to my full satisfaction. He is very good with handling people, and that has led to an excellent cooperation with media, agencies, customers and internally with his colleagues. His good spirit and positive attitude is also a definitive positive asset.
