Core System Partners welcomes Mark La Penta as Senior Advisor, bringing 30+ years of leadership in technology, banking, and operations to guide clients through core transformation and digital modernization.

We’re thrilled to welcome Colin Cramer to the Core System Partners network as a Senior Advisor. With deep transformation experience and a reputation for leading complex core banking programs across multiple continents, Colin adds yet another layer of executional excellence to our advisory bench.

Over the past two decades, Colin has helped deliver more than 15 major core banking transformations for financial institutions spanning the UK, Europe, the Middle East and South Africa. From multimillion-euro portfolios to regulatory program turnarounds, Colin is the person clients call when stakes are high and delivery can’t slip.

Known for blending rigor with adaptability, Colin brings both project discipline (PMP, PRINCE2) and the practical wisdom that only comes from experience. Whether standing up new governance models, resetting troubled programs or guiding operating model redesigns, he delivers structure, not shortcuts.

At Core System Partners, Colin supports clients navigating large-scale transformation while juggling compliance, stakeholder complexity, and commercial demands. His focus areas include commercial banking transformation, regulatory program oversight and delivery assurance across global institutions.

When he’s not helping teams move from red to green, Colin splits his time between the UK and South Africa, often outdoors, sometimes reading military history and occasionally troubleshooting his own landing gear on a remote airstrip.

“Known for his calm under pressure and belief that structure, not shortcuts, delivers outcomes.”
