Private investigations has been a tradition for generations in my family. Tom Ponzi’s activity dates back to the 1950s. However, I am driven not only by my past inheritance, but by a true passion for the world of private investigations which is now very much made of innovative tech- nology. My services go from small private to multinational companies. What is your area of expertise and what are you best noted for? An important area of the investigative services supplied by our company nowadays involves innovative issues, such as counter-intelligence, trademark and patent protection, corporate know-how and assets, safeguarding in broader forms. Organisations security is also part of our offered package of high value added services, but the application of advanced technologies such as GPS, systems control and other complex online investigations it is also significant. Today’s experience allows us to address both complex researches - for multinationals and an equally complicated investigation for a private citizen - through all social and modern features representing the con- temporary world. There are many reasons why you wish to be present on Who’s Who in World, mostly the need for networking, consulting, branding and addi- tional exposure. This is one of these reasons is more important to you, or would you say that they are all important? Your magazine has been the top reference in this sector for years. It is qualifying for our company to be part of it and this definitely helps our positioning and our commitment to our work. I strongly believe that it is important to activate all channels to be seen by our customers, in short to be always visible and available for whoever needs our services. However, it is no doubt the work of our all team that can guarantee our final results, hardly achieved otherwise. Finally, what do you attribute your success to? Reliability, earnestness and high quality standards for the smallest detail are our main values, but I think the most important factor is the loyalty of our customers who continue to look for our services through the years. This is also due to my personal ongoing training, the constant in- novation in the procedures and technologies used by our company, the strong belief that studying is always a source for development. Last but not least, the wish to learn new things, be always updated and the never ending craving for truth will always be at the heart of the firm’s work.
