Builder • Engineer • Systems Problem Solver
Yaniv Bendet
Engineer and entrepreneur. I solve systemic problems and lead from strategy to scale.
Fractional COO • Executive & Board Advisory
I find what's stuck between the interfaces, and build the mechanism that keeps the fix working after I leave.
I help companies with complex products and systems solve the problems that keep coming back between development, production, suppliers and service, and turn that understanding into a working mechanism the team keeps running. Behind me: 20+ years inside complex systems, the Israeli Air Force and 18 years at HP Indigo, from NPI and industrialization to production operations, supplier audits and a repair network across 4 sites. I also mentor managers and founders, and I'm a board director certified by the Ohayon Center.
The problem I solve
When the same problem keeps coming back between engineering, production, suppliers and service, you pay for it in money, time, missed deliveries and unhappy customers.
The issue is rarely the people. It's the system between them.
Each function does its job. What breaks is the handoff between them.
The proof
What happened when we fixed the system, not just the fault
turnaround time (TAT) across the repair network
No Fault Found: parts returned that weren't actually faulty
saved per year through engineering and quality changes
repair centers set up from scratch with Flex
I led engineering and quality across HP Indigo's repair network, 4 sites
Three ways to work together
How I come in
Main focus
Fractional COO & Engineering Lead
For companies and startups moving from prototype to scale: production readiness, NPI handoff, supplier selection and ramp-up. I come in for a defined period, a few days a week, and build the operating rhythm that keeps things working.

Value-chain problem solving and supplier audits
When a problem crosses engineering, business and process lines, from design through suppliers to the field: root cause, owners and next steps. For companies abroad, your local execution partner in Israel.

AI and automation in real businesses
For owners and managers who want AI to actually save time and money: leads that get followed up, meetings that turn into tasks. Diagnosis before tools.
Go to Practical AIHow it works
From diagnosis to a fix that stays fixed
- Focused diagnostic
Find the root cause and the interface where it gets stuck
- A clear plan
Sometimes a week, sometimes longer, with owners and steps
- Short-term fix
Stop the bleeding and regain control
- Root-cause fix
A mechanism that keeps it from coming back
- Move one metric
One metric, a baseline and a time frame
The way in: a sprint on one problem, 5–10 business days. From there, as needed: a broader diagnostic, building the mechanism, or a fractional engagement.
When to bring me in
A line stop, a recurring fault, a quality hit, a key customer at risk.
A metric that won't improve, ongoing friction between functions, slow decisions.
Before a product launch, a new supplier, a new line or a major engineering change.
Industries
Availability
Direct engagements, projects and subcontracting, on-site in Israel and abroad.
I'm also a builder: I build my own AI tools and products, and work with founders as one of them.
