Board of Directors
BENTO is managed by a three-member Board of Directors
Radu Scarlat, General Manager, Chairman of the Board of Directors
Radu Scarlat joins the Company 2 years after its foundation, becoming partner of Vlad Bodea. Like his colleague, BENTO’s evolution has helped Radu develop his skills in a wide range of roles that arise as the complexity of projects and the portfolio of services delivered increases.
It is Radu who has channelled the experience gained by the BENTO team with the implementation of solutions for the field towards the development of a software product of his own. In this long and complex journey, which involved 3 major implementations in parallel with the structuring of the standard product, Radu gained extensive experience in both operational business analysis and product management.
By taking over the financial management within the Company, Radu managed to structure the mechanisms through which the Company ensures its financial stability, making a substantial contribution to its growth capacity. This focus has given him valuable skills in areas such as risk management and financial planning.
In recent years, Radu has increasingly focused his attention on the development of BENTO. Currently, in addition to his involvement in various operational areas of the company, Radu also oversees the departments: Finance, Administration and Procurement.
On 19 October 2021, Radu Scarlat was elected as an executive member of the Board of Directors for a 2-year term of office. On 9 October 2023, at the General Meeting of Shareholders, he was re-elected for a 4-year term of office effective 20 October 2023. On 20 October 2023, following a decision of the Board of Directors, Radu Scarlat was elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Manager of Bento.

Vlad-Ermil Bodea, Co-Founder, Member of the Board of Directors
Vlad Bodea is one of the new generation of entrepreneurs, passionate about engineering and technology. He wrote his first line of code in 4th grade, in BASIC, and over the next few years continued to develop and deepen his passion for programming as well as operating and troubleshooting computer systems. Later he channeled his passion into the area of infrastructure and communication, internet and security.
In his second year of university, Vlad Bodea became co-founder of BENTO, under the formal name that the company still bears today, 2B Intelligent Soft. Vlad’s professional evolution is closely linked to BENTO, as he has gone through most of the roles that have emerged with the development of the company. In the position of software engineer, his flagship project is the development and implementation of a “SCADA” communication platform in a large-scale project automating electricity distribution.
With the growth of BENTO, Vlad moved away from the technical side and towards the operations and management area. Under his direct coordination, BENTO took the lead in implementing a WFM (Workforce Management) solution for one of the company’s strategic clients. During the coordination of this project, which involved the management of a complex group of IT and non-IT stakeholders, Vlad gained valuable experience in both project management and operational business analysis. This project laid the groundwork for BENTO’s orientation towards projects involving automation of operations run with teams in the field.
In the last years of BENTO’s evolution, Vlad has increasingly focused on strategic planning as well as internal process management. Today, in addition to being involved in various operational areas of the company, Vlad also oversees departments: Sales and Commercial, Marketing and Human Resources.
On 19 October 2021, Vlad Bodea was elected as executive member of the BENTO Board of Directors for a 2-year term of office.
