After leaving Condotte e Strade Spa, he joined Torno Spa in 1978, which at the time was the 12th largest construction company in Europe. Within four years of starting at Torno he was in charge if supply, procurements and subcontracts. Ezio Testa’s innovative business approaches saved Torno Spa millions of dollars and were adopted and used in all future projects. Examples of his innovation are the Shiroro Dam project and a road construction project on Mindanao Island in the Philippines. The Shiroro Dam, located on the Kaduna tributary of the Niger River, was finished in 1990 and provides 600mw of power to Nigeria’s capitol region. Ezio Testa was able to save Torno $38 million while constructing this dam by retaining large assembled equipment components on site, eliminating warehouses of small spare parts used in maintenance. Mr. Testa also saved the company $18 million on the road construction project on Mindanao Island by moving dirt using graders rather than dump trucks. From 1997 until 2006, he was CEO of IHC Services, a subsidiary of Torno America. IHC Services was a marketing company that represented manufacturers who contracted with organizations like the U.S. government, NATO, and the United Nations. Presently Ezio Testa is CEO of Global Logistics Solutions based in New York City, specializing in large-scale project management and cost control.
