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 excited to officially welcome Mark La Penta as a Senior Advisor at Core System Partners.

Mark brings more than 30 years of executive experience at the intersection of technology, banking, and operations. He has served as CIO of Bank Leumi and MetLife Bank and held senior leadership roles at top consulting firms, where he led large-scale transformations across core systems, infrastructure, and cloud platforms.

At CSP, Mark helps clients navigate the real-world challenges of transforming complex financial institutions. Whether it’s modernizing infrastructure, preparing for regulatory reviews, or managing vendor portfolios, Mark brings a calm, executive presence and deep technical insight. His guidance is especially valuable during critical transition points—such as M&A, regulatory response, and platform migrations—when leadership alignment is just as important as technology execution.

“Transformation isn’t just about technology—it’s about aligning leadership, solving the right problems, and building momentum you can sustain.”

In addition to his advisory work, Mark mentors future leaders through Columbia University’s Executive Master’s program in Technology Management.
