Impact Networking, a leading managed service provider (MSP), has appointed John Quinn as Chief Financial Officer, the company announced on June 8, 2026. The move underscores Impact's commitment to strengthening its leadership team as it accelerates its next phase of growth.
As a privately owned, US-focused organization, Impact has built an integrated service portfolio spanning IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing. The appointment of Quinn reflects the company's deliberate investment in financial depth and strategic horsepower to match its exponential growth trajectory.
"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, Chief Executive Officer 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 joins Impact 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.
"What drew me to Impact is what makes it rare in this industry. It is built for clients, not for a transaction," Quinn said. "I'm excited to help build the financial and operational foundation that allows Impact to scale that model without compromising what makes it work."
Impact's growth is driven by mid-market companies increasingly outsourcing IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing as a strategic imperative. The company's model—enterprise-scale capability delivered with local care from a privately owned firm—positions it to meet this demand. Quinn's 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 offers 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 mid-market businesses. For more information, visit impactmybiz.com.
