If you have’nt heard it yet, Suzy Tonini has won the Round 2 of the Sourcing Challenge organized by SourceCon 2007.

Suzy Tonini began her career with internet sleuthing back in 1996 when she uncovered a scam involving treasure hunters and a very prominent investor. Online forums involving these shady characters led her to the real scoop, and long story short, the investor flew her up and promptly stopped the whole operation, saving him possibly millions of dollars.

When Suzy joined MRI back in 1999 as an Internet Researcher, she quickly was nominated to be among the top 5% of the researchers in the industry. In 2001, she co-founded MTR Executive search and then later InfoSourcer, diligently searching for IT candidates when the IT industry was in the doldrums. In August 2006, Suzy accepted a contract assignment with Deloitte Services and was tasked, initially, with finding great SAP Consultants. Her success and strengths of her internet research skills have since been utilized in various areas of Deloitte, and she joined them full-time as a Manager of Internet Research in April 2007. Suzy truly enjoys her sleuthing work and loves being a part of a great team.

Suzy has also posted how she won the challenge on her post “How I Won SourceCon Challenge #2”
