Impact Networking, a leading managed service provider (MSP), announced the appointment of John Quinn as Chief Financial Officer, signaling a strategic investment in its leadership infrastructure to sustain its exponential growth. The company, which offers an integrated portfolio of IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing services, aims to meet the increasing demand from mid-market companies seeking a single, accountable partner for their technology and security needs.
John Quinn brings extensive experience as a strategic finance and transformation executive, most recently serving as Chief Transformation Officer and CFO Infrastructure for HSBC Americas. At HSBC, 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 in finance transformation, technology modernization, AI, automation, and organizational design aligns with Impact's focus on delivering enterprise-scale capabilities with local care.
Impact's CEO, Mike Lepper, emphasized the importance of Quinn's role in shaping the company's vision: "We've built something genuinely differentiated at Impact... 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." Quinn's appointment follows a period of significant momentum for Impact, including expansion of service lines and geographic footprint.
Quinn commented on his decision to join Impact: "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."
Impact's growth is driven by the strategic imperative for mid-market companies to outsource IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing to focus on core competencies. The company's model, which integrates these services under one roof with accountability, positions it as a key partner for businesses navigating digital transformation. Quinn's charter includes scaling financial infrastructure and supporting continued investment in talent and technology.
Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois, Impact Networking is privately owned and US-focused. It offers managed IT, cybersecurity, AI solutions, print, and marketing services through 700+ industry experts across 23 US locations. The company is built to be a long-term partner for mid-market companies and states it will never be sold or acquired. For more information, visit impactmybiz.com.
