Seasoned leader Massimo Mazzeo Ocello to spearhead Global Systems Engineering, Services and Support Strategy, debuting with high-impact AV service offering <\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

July 23, 2025 – SAN JOSE, Calif.<\/strong> \u2013 NETGEAR\u00ae Inc. (NASDAQ: NTGR), a global leader in intelligent networking solutions designed to power extraordinary experiences, today unveiled the next step in delivering on its goals for NETGEAR for Business. Massimo Mazzeo Ocello, newly appointed VP of Global Systems Engineering, Customer Support and Services, introduced a new catalog of professional service offerings<\/a> for NETGEAR Business customers. Starting today, the company\u2019s first service offering will be available to its commercial AV customers.<\/p>\n

Mazzeo joined NETGEAR in April 2025, bringing more than 20 years of international leadership experience across systems engineering, technical pre-sales, product management, and managed services, with deep expertise in networking, wireless, and cloud-based solutions. Coming to NETGEAR from RUCKUS\/Commscope, he is known for building high-performing, customer-focused teams, developing scalable processes, and delivering impactful technical programs.<\/p>\n

Reporting to NETGEAR for Business President and GM Pramod Badjate, Mazzeo will help to bring the business unit\u2019s previously announced objective<\/a> to life \u2013 to strip away complexity, remove friction and deliver powerful solutions that are right sized, easy to purchase and simple to deploy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to have Massimo on the team. His leadership style, a combination of strategic vision and operational precision, has helped organizations to innovate and succeed in highly competitive markets,\u201d said Badjate. \u201cHe\u2019s already made great strides at NETGEAR, and this initial service offering is just the first proof point. With more to come as well as his plans for engineering and support, we\u2019re elevating what AV and IT customers can expect and achieve with business networking from NETGEAR.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flawless Execution, Hands-on Support<\/h2>\n

While NETGEAR\u2019s professional services catalog will support the needs of AV and IT customers with a phased approach over time, the first offering is strictly AV-focused.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe key goal of NETGEAR\u2019s professional services is to simplify both AV-over-IP and IT rollouts while making the fundamental shift to outcome-driven engagements\u00a0that go well beyond product delivery,\u201d said Mazzeo. \u201cThe idea of professional services is well-established in the IT industry, but we\u2019ve seen the demand for the same kind of support for AV implementations skyrocket in recent years and felt the time was right to start there.\u201d<\/p>\n

NETGEAR for Business pioneered AV-over-IP technology, helping businesses, customers, and employees power and connect to\u00a0extraordinary experiences and on-site engineering assistance will help to aid in that endeavor. This new tier of service will help to ensure the smooth operation of critical installations and live events when there is no room for error. The design of the offering was based on NETGEAR\u2019s nearly 30 years of proven expertise and success, as well as feedback from the company\u2019s more than 450 AV manufacturing partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conversations I\u2019ve had with customers and partners have shown that they increasingly expect more than just great hardware and software\u2014they want expertise, risk mitigation, and confidence that their solution will work the first time. This is especially true in Commercial AV and Broadcast deployments where complexity is high and integration skills matter,\u201d Mazzeo continued.<\/p>\n

NETGEAR professional services are geared to:<\/h3>\n
