Impact Networking Appoints John Quinn as CFO to Support Next Growth Phase
Impact Networking appoints John Quinn as CFO, signaling investment in leadership infrastructure to sustain its growth as a diversified managed service provider for mid-market companies.
Impact Networking, a leading managed service provider, has announced the appointment of John Quinn as Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. The move underscores the company's commitment to strengthening its leadership team to match its rapid growth and expanding service portfolio.
Quinn brings extensive experience from HSBC Americas, where he served as Chief Transformation Officer and CFO Infrastructure. He led 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 includes finance transformation, technology modernization, AI and automation strategy, cloud enablement, and organizational design.
“We've built something genuinely differentiated at Impact, the kind of company that mid-market leaders have been looking for but couldn't find,” 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.”
Impact Networking has positioned itself as a rare provider in the managed services space by offering an integrated portfolio spanning IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing under one roof. The company focuses on mid-market companies that increasingly need to outsource these functions to stay competitive. Quinn's appointment is seen as a strategic move to build the financial infrastructure needed to scale this model.
“What drew me to Impact is what makes it rare in this industry,” Quinn said. “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 Networking's growth is driven by a market trend where mid-market companies are reaching a pivot point, making outsourcing of IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing a strategic imperative. The company's model delivers enterprise-scale capability with local care, and it has no plans to be acquired or absorbed into a private equity roll-up.
Quinn's charter includes scaling the company's financial infrastructure, supporting continued investment in talent and technology, and ensuring durable growth. The appointment follows a period of significant momentum, including expansion of service lines, geographic footprint, and client base.
Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois, Impact Networking offers the most expansive and integrated service portfolio in the industry, spanning managed IT, cybersecurity, AI solutions, print, and marketing services. With over 700 industry experts across 23 US locations, Impact is built to be the one true partner for businesses navigating their next phase of growth. The company states it will never be sold or acquired.
