Impact Networking, one of the fastest-growing and most diversified managed service providers (MSPs) in the United States, announced the appointment of John Quinn as Chief Financial Officer. This strategic move underscores Impact's commitment to bolstering its leadership infrastructure to sustain its exponential growth trajectory and expanding service portfolio.
John Quinn joins Impact with a distinguished background as a strategic finance and transformation executive. Most recently, he served as Chief Transformation Officer and CFO Infrastructure for HSBC Americas, where he spearheaded a $1.5 billion enterprise 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, cloud enablement, and organizational design, which align closely with Impact's operational focus.
Impact has spent over two decades building a unique model in the managed services space: a privately owned, US-focused organization offering an integrated service portfolio covering IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing under one roof. As mid-market companies increasingly face the choice between focusing on core business and managing complex technology and security functions, Impact positions itself as a single, accountable partner. The appointment of Quinn as CFO reflects the company's commitment to scaling its internal architecture to match this 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," said Mike Lepper, CEO of Impact Networking. "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's role will extend beyond traditional financial stewardship; he will serve as a growth architect, advising on strategic decisions, M&A, workforce design, and digital enablement. "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," Quinn said.
Impact's growth is driven by a market reality where mid-market companies increasingly view outsourcing IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing as a strategic imperative. 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, including expansion of service lines, geographic footprint, and client base. His charter includes scaling financial infrastructure, supporting investment in talent and technology, and ensuring durable growth.
Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois, Impact Networking is privately owned and US-focused. It offers an expansive service portfolio spanning managed IT, cybersecurity, AI solutions, print, and marketing services, enabling mid-market companies to operate with enterprise-grade capability and local-level care. With over 700 industry experts across 23 US locations, Impact positions itself as the one true partner for businesses navigating their next phase of growth.
