“viktor and i have worked together on several occasions in the past. i first met him through swatch at the first swatch wave tour stop in munich, germany. when we changed the sponsorship to siemens mobile we engaged him as a freelance event organizer for the whole tour. his efficiency, experience in planning and executing big events has been a key factor to the success of the tour.”
thomas j. lochtefeld ceo + founder wave loch inc. + wave house inc. “as a professional athlete i have participated in many sporting events around the world. in the midst of my snowboarding tour stops i was able to participate at most of the wave tour stops. the events which viktor organized were always amongst the very best, from the viewpoint of planning, logistics and hospitality. i always felt very confortable and well taken care off.“
ueli kestenholz pro snowboarder olympic silver medalist nagano 1998

we hired viktor baumann as the event director for the final event of the debitel proskater challenge 2003 in munich. viktor did an excellent job in setting up the event, finding and managing all the necessary suppliers, and negotiating with the participating professional athletes. at the event iteself viktor proved as a competent event director who kept a cool head and solved all arising problems . viktor not only showed excellent professional skills, but it was also a personal pleasure to work with him. viktor is a very good communicator and was able to fit into the additiv team without any problems. we certainly plan to work with viktor again in future projects. andreas riedmann managing director additiv (deutschland) gmbh
