Over the years, Colin Cramer has led the delivery of over 15 complex core banking transformation programs across the financial services sector, working at the intersection of governance, delivery assurance, and commercial portfolio leadership. He’s known for driving high-stakes programs to the finish line while balancing structure, stakeholder engagement, and adaptive planning.

Colin has held senior project and program leadership roles in global institutions across the UK, Europe, Middle East and South Africa. He’s overseen multimillion-euro portfolios, implemented end-to-end banking systems, and supported pre-sales engagements for enterprise platforms. With certifications in PMP and PRINCE2, he brings methodical discipline to every engagement, while staying flexible in the face of evolving business needs.

At Core System Partners, Colin supports clients who need both strategy and structure, whether they’re re-engineering operating models, standing up governance frameworks, or managing delivery portfolios under regulatory scrutiny. His sweet spot: guiding program offices and steering teams through complex change while protecting timelines, budgets, and trust.

His focus areas include commercial banking transformation, business process re-engineering, and project controls in regulated environments. Clients value his ability to bring clarity to ambiguity, often stepping in when things are stuck and pressure is high.

Colin splits his time between the UK and South Africa. When not managing delivery timelines, he’s most likely exploring the outdoors, reading up on military history, landing his plane with stuck landing gear or enjoying a quiet evening braai with family.

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