Impact Networking, a leading managed service provider (MSP), announced the appointment of John Quinn as Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. The move underscores the company's commitment to strengthening its leadership infrastructure to match its exponential growth and expanding service portfolio.
Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois, Impact has built a unique position in the MSP market by offering an integrated portfolio of IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing services under one roof. As mid-market companies increasingly seek to outsource complex technology and security functions, Impact has emerged as a provider that delivers enterprise-scale capability with local relationships. The appointment of Quinn as CFO is designed to ensure the company has the financial depth and strategic horsepower to sustain its trajectory.
Quinn joins Impact from HSBC Americas, where he served as Chief Transformation Officer and CFO Infrastructure. There, he led a $1.5 billion transformation program that improved Return on Tangible Equity from 8.5% to 13.5% and generated $2 billion in sustainable operating efficiencies. His expertise spans finance transformation, technology modernization, AI and automation strategy, and organizational design, directly aligning with Impact's operational focus.
"We've built something genuinely differentiated at Impact," said Mike Lepper, CEO of Impact Networking, in a statement. "As we move into our next chapter, we need a financial leader who doesn't just manage the numbers but helps us shape the vision behind them. John brings exactly that."
Quinn expressed enthusiasm for joining a company that is "built for clients, not for a transaction." He noted that Impact's private ownership and US-focused commitment provide a competitive advantage in the markets it serves. "I'm excited to help build the financial and operational foundation that allows Impact to scale that model without compromising what makes it work," he said.
The appointment follows a period of significant momentum for Impact, including expansion of its service lines, geographic footprint, and client base. Quinn's charter includes scaling financial infrastructure, supporting continued investment in talent and technology, and ensuring durable growth. Impact's model, which emphasizes integration and accountability, is designed for mid-market companies facing the strategic imperative to outsource IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing.
Impact Networking is privately owned and US-focused, with over 700 industry experts across 23 locations. The company offers services including managed IT, cybersecurity, AI solutions, and print and marketing services. More information is available at impactmybiz.com.
