Name: Devonne Badelt
Age: 30 years young
Title: Chief Operating Officer at The Mayfair Group
Married/Single: in a relationship <3
Kids: One fur baby, a highly energetic and incredibly spoiled German Shepard named Mowgli.
City you live in: Scottsdale
A typical day in my life includes…
waking up to Mowgli’s snores before work where I spearhead long-term strategies and help to monetize each sector of The Mayfair Group with the support of my badass, all female team.
I was born…
in San Diego, CA.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
my family, lover boy, and my amazing team are here! Also, you can’t beat the sunsets in Arizona.
I’m listening to…
Billie Eilish on repeat with a little mix of 90’s throw back jams.
My family…
is the center of my world. I am lucky enough to have an incredibly supportive family who always encourage me to pursue my dreams and believe in myself.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
a full course meal with Riccardo Tisci for appetizers, Elon Musk for the main meal, and Michelle Obama for dessert complete with after dinner drinks with Stella McCartney and Raissa Gerona.
One thing I cannot live without…
besides the people I love, it’s Mexican food. It’s a close call 😉
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
the best at what I do – with my team by my side, I feel like the younger me would be proud.
I’m inspired by…
my mother, who started her own successful business while raising two daughters on her own. She is the strongest, kindest, smartest, most hilarious, and all around inspiring woman I have ever been lucky enough to know. I can only hope to be half the woman she is one day.
The one person who motivates me is…
(besides my mom) Samantha Abrahart, my boss and CEO of The Mayfair Group. Sam is not only fearless and incredibly intelligent, but she is genuinely one of the most beautiful people inside and out.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
just to be kinder to one another. Short and sweet, but incredibly powerful.
The perfect day would be…
spent with the people I love in my dream location, Greece.
My first job was…
Victoria’s Secret Brand Ambassador.
My favorite escape…
is Paris- such a magical city from the architecture to the people, but mainly because it has the BEST shopping.
My life…
is going in a great direction and I love every minute of it!
I’m currently working on…
a million things at once, but I live for the challenge.
Always…
do what you love, support others, be positive, and ensure you’re living authentically.
Never…
take yourself too seriously.
Favorite Quote…
“Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.”
Biggest Dream…
to inspire women to be confident in who they are and continue driving The Mayfair Group to be bigger and better. That…and a Forbes feature!
My Pet Peeve(s)…
being unoriginal.
