Netgear appoints VP of Systems Engineering

Netgear has appointed Massimo Mazzeo Ocello as Vice President of Global Systems Engineering, Customer Support and Services. The move coincides with the introduction of a professional services catalogue for Netgear Business customers, starting with support for commercial AV deployments.

Mazzeo joined in April 2025 from Ruckus/Commscope and brings over 20 years of experience in networking, wireless, and cloud-based systems engineering. He will report to Pramod Badjate, President and GM of Netgear for Business.

“I’m excited to have Massimo on the team. His leadership style, a combination of strategic vision and operational precision, has helped organisations to innovate and succeed in highly competitive markets,” said Badjate. “He’s 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’re elevating what AV and IT customers can expect and achieve with business networking from Netgear.”
