Company > EFI History

Efficient Facilities International (EFI) began as a dedicated partnership between former Big Five management consultant Lisa Whitsett and former physics and engineering instructor Steven Wills. Whitsett and Wills recognized the potential to combine their expertise to build and run a facility management and services company. Hallmarked by well-defined process and advanced technology, EFI's client base has grown 6-fold in just 12 months.

Lisa Whitsett gained her experience in business management through years in Big Five consulting. During this time, she focused on business process, training and development, and workforce management. Whitsett says that, "we hire good people who take pride in what they do. We stay focused on process, which ultimately leads to the highest quality service for our customers."

Steven Wills’ education and experience in physics, engineering, and construction services provides the know-how and content knowledge for EFI. Wills says that "much of a company's capital is invested in the physical space from which they conduct business. Our purpose is to maintain and, in many cases, increase the value of this asset."

The team who manages EFI applies more than 200 years of combined experience to meet customers' needs every day. Whitsett adds that EFI’s management team is "skilled in areas of process engineering, workforce development, knowledge management, and change management. These business skills, married with facility management know-how, make us different."
