Impact Networking, a leading managed service provider (MSP) based in Lake Forest, Illinois, announced the appointment of John Quinn as Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. The move underscores the company's deliberate investment in leadership infrastructure to match its exponential growth and expanding service portfolio. 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, Quinn 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, reinvested in growth and digitization. His expertise spans finance transformation, technology modernization, AI and automation strategy, cloud enablement, and organizational design. This profile aligns directly with Impact's focus on delivering integrated IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing services to mid-market clients.
Impact Networking has spent over two decades building a privately owned, US-focused organization with an integrated service portfolio. As mid-market companies face increasing complexity in technology and security, Impact positions itself as a single, accountable partner. CEO Mike Lepper emphasized the need for a financial leader who shapes the vision behind the numbers, stating that Quinn brings exactly that.
Quinn expressed enthusiasm for Impact's client-centric model, noting that the company is built for long-term success rather than transactions. He aims to build the financial and operational foundation to scale this model without compromising its core values. Impact's growth is driven by a market trend where outsourcing IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing has become a strategic imperative for mid-market firms.
The appointment follows a period of significant momentum, including expansion of service lines, geographic footprint, and client base. Quinn's charter includes scaling financial infrastructure, supporting continued investment in talent and technology, and ensuring durable growth. Founded in 1999, 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 experts across 23 US locations, Impact remains committed to being the one true partner for businesses navigating growth.
