About Devon Paffendorf

From modeling and M & Ms to multinational upskilling programs and conferences—my career journey has been anything but ordinary.With a foundation in mathematics (yes, Summa Cum Laude!) and minors in both Environmental Science and Art & Design, I’ve always thrived at the intersection of logic and creativity. That balance has served me well in my current role as a Project Management Manager in Learning & Development at PwC. I lead Advisory tech onboarding programs for both new and experienced hires—helping our people hit the ground running in a constantly evolving digital landscape.Whether I’m a team of one producing high-impact virtual webinars and simlives, or part of a 50-person crew coordinating multi-wave, in-person conferences for thousands, I bring adaptability, precision, and heart to every project.Beyond my day job, I’m proud to serve as President of the Centenary University Alumni Association Executive Board, where I stay connected to my alma mater and help drive meaningful engagement across generations of alumni.My journey has included everything from graphic design at Mars Chocolate, coaching collegiate volleyball, and international travel to over 28 countries—all of which shaped my love of learning, leading, and connecting with people from all walks of life. These experiences help me see the big picture while staying grounded in the details, making me a strong partner across teams and functions.Outside of work, you’ll still find me staying active, creatively curious, and always looking for the next opportunity to grow.Curious to learn more or connect on all things L&D, program strategy, or finding the best airport snacks?
