Women Who Wow: Robyn Addis
- I’m continuing to run the Women Who Wow series throughout the year because Women’s History Month was shadowed by the COVID-19 outbreak and there are just too many great women to fit in the span of 30 days.
Today’s Woman Who Wows is Robyn Addis, the Chief Operating Officer at Legal Internet Solutions Incorporated, and has a long career in operations and marketing. I met Robyn like I met so many others in this series, through our volunteer work for the Legal Marketing Association.

15 Daily Habits for Success While Working From Home
It’s been a big adjustment for all of us to pivot from commuting each day to work to working from home. Add kids and pets to the mix and it can be even harder to concentrate and be productive in your new makeshift work environment.
We have each had to adapt quickly to our new normal. Here are a few ideas on how to work more effectively no matter where you are but especially from home and actually get stuff done.
Women Who Wow: Brandie Knox
I started the Women Who Wow series to coincide with Women’s History Month, but since news related to COVID-19 has consumed us, I’ve decided to continue running the series throughout the year, because there are just too many amazing women to fit into one month.
One of those amazing women is New York-based Brandie Knox, the principal and creative director of Knox Design Strategy. I met Brandie several years ago through the Legal Marketing Association, and we hit it off right away. I admire her for her entrepreneurial spirit, her creativity and her kindness.

Women Who Wow: Alexis Robertson
Alexis Robertson is the next Woman Who Wows. I met Alexis through LinkedIn and have admired her thoughtful posts. It’s another reason why online networking is so important – she lives in Chicago and I live in NYC but I feel very connected to her.
She is currently the director of diversity & inclusion for Foley & Lardner LLP where she provides firm-wide strategic direction and oversight on all diversity and inclusion related matters.
Alexis joined Foley from Baker McKenzie, where she was North America manager of Diversity & Inclusion. Prior to joining Baker McKenzie, Alexis spent two years as a Legal Recruiting Director for The Partners Group where she focused on placing diverse attorneys with law firms and corporations.
Alexis earned her law degree from the University of Michigan Law School and practiced with Kirkland & Ellis and Seyfarth Shaw following graduation. She earned her undergraduate degree from the American University in Washington, D.C.

Women Who Wow: Gia Altreche
I asked Orange County-based Gia Altreche to be part of the Women Who Wow series because she is a leader in the legal marketing industry and an advocate for the profession and diversity & inclusion. Gia is the Director of Business Development and Marketing at Newmeyer & Dillion LLP and serves as co-chair of the Legal Marketing Association’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee and Shared Interest Group. Learn more about her below.
Why did you choose your profession?
Technically it chose me. It was during a post-college adventure to find a marriage between the legal field (initially intending to go to law school), and human communication (a love I found in my last year in college, which slightly derailed the initial focus) that ended with my resume miraculously in the hands of my now mentor, who was the Head of Business Development & Marketing at a major law firm in Phoenix, AZ. Talk about the power of networking!
At the time, I didn’t know legal marketing existed, but quickly learned it offered access to both play a role in advocating for my community, while continuing to study and nurture the role of human connection in business. Plus, being surrounded by the crème of the crop legal minds across a variety of industries, seeking out continuous education on the ever evolving role and how I could support their efforts was greatly satisfying.
