Impact Networking, one of the nation's fastest-growing and most diversified managed service providers (MSPs), today announced the appointment of John Quinn as Chief Financial Officer. The move signals Impact's deliberate investment in its leadership infrastructure to match its exponential growth trajectory and expanding service portfolio with the financial depth and strategic horsepower to sustain it.
Impact has spent over two decades building a privately owned, US-focused organization with an integrated service portfolio spanning IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing. As mid-market companies increasingly face the choice between focusing on their core business or managing complex technology and security functions in-house, Impact has emerged as a rare provider able to meet them at that inflection point. The appointment of Quinn as CFO reflects the company's commitment to building internal architecture that keeps pace with that opportunity.
"We've built something genuinely differentiated at Impact, the kind of company that mid-market leaders have been looking for but couldn't find. One partner, across every critical service, at enterprise scale, with the local relationships that make it work. 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, and then some," said Mike Lepper, Chief Executive Officer of Impact Networking.
John Quinn joins Impact with an exceptional track record as a strategic finance and transformation executive. Most recently, as Chief Transformation Officer and CFO Infrastructure for HSBC Americas, he led the planning and execution of a $1.5 billion enterprise transformation program, improving Return on Tangible Equity from 8.5% to 13.5% and generating $2 billion in sustainable operating efficiencies reinvested in growth and digitization. His expertise spans finance transformation, technology modernization, AI and automation strategy, cloud enablement, and organizational design, mapping directly onto Impact's operational terrain.
Quinn's experience advising CEOs on high-stakes strategic and M&A decisions positions him as a growth architect. "What drew me to Impact is what makes it rare in this industry. It is built for clients, not for a transaction. The fact that this company is and will remain privately owned, US-focused, and wholly committed to the long-term success of its partners is a genuine competitive advantage. I'm excited to help build the financial and operational foundation that allows Impact to scale that model without compromising what makes it work," Quinn said.
Impact's growth is driven by a market reality where mid-market companies reach a pivot point: outsourcing IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing is a strategic imperative. Staying focused on core competence while ensuring security and growth requires a partner operating across all disciplines with genuine integration and accountability. Impact's model—enterprise-scale capability delivered with local care, from a company that will never be acquired—is built for that demand.
Quinn's appointment follows a period of significant momentum at Impact, including expansion of service lines, geographic footprint, and client base. His charter includes scaling financial infrastructure, supporting continued investment in talent and technology, and ensuring durable growth. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois, Impact Networking offers managed IT, cybersecurity, AI solutions, print, and marketing services. With 700+ industry experts across 23 US locations, Impact is built to be the one true partner for businesses navigating their next phase of growth. Learn more at impactmybiz.com.
