Impact Networking, a leading managed service provider, announced the appointment of John Quinn as Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. The move underscores the company's commitment to fortifying its leadership team as it accelerates its next phase of growth. Quinn brings extensive experience in finance transformation and strategic execution, having previously served as Chief Transformation Officer and CFO Infrastructure for HSBC Americas, where he led a $1.5 billion enterprise transformation program that improved Return on Tangible Equity from 8.5% to 13.5%.
Quinn's appointment comes at a pivotal time for Impact, which has distinguished itself in the managed services space by offering an integrated portfolio spanning IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing under one roof. The company's model targets mid-market enterprises that increasingly need a single, accountable partner to manage complex technology and security functions, allowing them to focus on core business objectives. Mike Lepper, CEO of Impact Networking, highlighted the strategic importance of the hire: "We need a financial leader who doesn't just manage the numbers but helps us shape the vision behind them. John brings exactly that."
In his role, Quinn will oversee financial strategy, including scaling the company's financial infrastructure, supporting continued investment in talent and technology, and ensuring sustainable growth. His expertise in AI and automation strategy, cloud enablement, and organizational design aligns directly with Impact's service offerings and market demands. Quinn noted, "What drew me to Impact is what makes it rare in this industry. It is built for clients, not for a transaction."
Impact's growth trajectory has been fueled by a market shift where mid-market companies view outsourcing IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing as a strategic imperative rather than a convenience. The company's private ownership and US-focused operations provide a competitive advantage, ensuring it will not be acquired or absorbed into a private equity roll-up. With 700+ industry experts across 23 US locations, Impact continues to expand its service lines and geographic footprint.
Quinn's appointment follows a period of significant momentum, including expanded service offerings and client base. His charter includes ensuring that Impact's growth is as durable as it is rapid, with a focus on building the financial and operational foundation to scale the company's integrated model.
