Effective immediately, Naegele has been named head of CI, retail, and eCommerce sales, and La Porta has been appointed inside sales manager, CI, retail, and eCommerce sales, both with dedicated focus on supporting Neptune’s expanding customer base across the U.S. and Canada.
Neptune, known for its premium weather-resistant outdoor TVs and mounting solutions, continues to gain momentum in the custom installation, consumer electronics, and retail sectors. These new appointments mark a pivotal step in Neptune’s evolution as a leader in premium outdoor entertainment, with both Naegele and La Porta playing critical roles in enhancing partner support, scaling eCommerce capabilities, and delivering a flawless buying experience for residential and commercial customers alike.
As demand continues to rise for high-performance outdoor AV products, Neptune remains committed to providing best-in-class solutions and support across every channel.

In his new role, Naegele will oversee the national sales strategy for Neptune in both the CI and retail sectors, as well as drive eCommerce initiatives and strategic partnerships. With extensive experience in AV systems integration, channel sales, and B2C growth, his leadership will support Neptune’s position as a trusted choice for outdoor entertainment.
La Porta will work closely with Naegele and the broader teams to manage inside sales support, partner enablement, and day-to-day account engagement. His background in business development and customer success will ensure efficient support for dealers, distributors, and online retailers alike.
“Neptune is perfectly positioned to lead in this new era of outdoor living,” says Naegele. “We’re excited to be at the forefront of Neptune’s growth and partner with the industry in meaningful ways to deliver real value through every sales interaction.”
