Impact Networking Appoints John Quinn as CFO to Propel Next Phase of Growth

Impact Networking, one of the nation's fastest-growing and most diversified managed service providers (MSPs), announced the appointment of John Quinn as Chief Financial Officer. The move underscores Impact's deliberate investment in its leadership infrastructure, designed to match the company's 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 staying focused on their core business and managing complex technology and security functions in-house, Impact has emerged as a provider able to meet them at that inflection point. The appointment of Quinn as CFO reflects the company's commitment to building the 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 initiatives. His expertise spans finance transformation, technology modernization, AI and automation strategy, cloud enablement, and organizational design.

Quinn's experience advising CEOs on high-stakes strategic and M&A decisions positions him as more than a financial steward. "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 has been driven by a market reality where mid-market companies are reaching a pivot point: outsourcing IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing is becoming 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 continued investment in talent and technology, and ensuring durable growth.

Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois, Impact Networking is a privately owned, US-focused MSP offering an integrated service portfolio spanning 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.
