Nancy Gazzigli: Blending Legal Expertise with 35 Years of IT Leadership
Nancy Gazzigli brings a distinctive combination of legal expertise and technology leadership to her work as a paralegal and business/IT consultant. With over 20 years in the legal field and 35 years in IT, she leads Nancy Gazzigli and Associates in Redding, California, where she specializes in complex legal support spanning personal injury, product liability, criminal, family, and business law cases.
Her career trajectory reveals an unusual depth of experience across multiple domains. Before establishing her own firm in Northern California, Gazzigli held executive roles at major corporations including PwC, Oracle, and BroadVision, where she led large-scale consulting initiatives and technology-driven solutions for Fortune 500 clients. During this time, she helped companies grow from 100 to over 20,000 employees through innovative leadership and strategic vision.
What distinguishes her practice is the ability to merge legal acumen with business intelligence in ways few practitioners can match. She excels at streamlining legal workflows and implementing case management systems that improve communication, compliance, and client outcomes. Known for her strategic insight and operational efficiency, she applies rigorous methodology to legal support that she once brought to Fortune 500 implementations.
This skill set stems from formal training that bridges multiple disciplines. Her academic credentials include an MBA in Information Management Science from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Business from Arizona State University. The combination of hard science, business strategy, and information systems creates a rare analytical framework.
Gazzigli's professional foundation was built early. She began college at 16, ultimately earning two bachelor's degrees and an MBA - achievements she attributes to her mother, a respected and award-winning journalist who taught her how to connect with people, work hard, and lead with integrity. Those lessons continue to shape her approach to both work and community involvement, including her volunteer work with the Mercy Foundation.
When asked about the biggest challenges and opportunities in her field, she points to finding ways to help everyone who needs support. She remains deeply committed to her community and driven to make a lasting impact that leaves a legacy for other women to follow. Her advice to young women entering the industry reflects this commitment: believe in your ability to achieve every dream, work hard, never give up, and always keep learning and adapting to change.
For Gazzigli, the values of working hard to support her community and making time for family represent the foundations of true success. Her mother's guidance - to lead with integrity, stay curious, and never stop striving for excellence - remains central to her practice. These principles guide her firm's commitment to innovation, integrity, and client-focused service.
