Impact Networking, a leading managed service provider (MSP), has appointed John Quinn as its new Chief Financial Officer, signaling a strategic investment in leadership to support the company's rapid expansion. The announcement, made on June 8, 2026, underscores Impact's commitment to building the financial infrastructure needed to sustain its growth trajectory and diversified service portfolio.
Quinn joins Impact from HSBC Americas, where he served as Chief Transformation Officer and CFO Infrastructure. There, 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 spans finance transformation, technology modernization, AI and automation strategy, and organizational design, aligning closely with Impact's integrated service model.
Impact Networking has built a unique position in the MSP market by offering a comprehensive suite of services—including managed IT, cybersecurity, AI solutions, and marketing—all under one roof. This integrated approach allows mid-market companies to outsource complex technology and security functions while staying focused on core business. As CEO Mike Lepper noted, the company has created a differentiated model that mid-market leaders have been seeking but couldn't find elsewhere.
Quinn's appointment reflects Impact's need for a financial leader who can shape the vision behind the numbers. "We need a financial leader who doesn't just manage the numbers but helps us shape the vision behind them," Lepper said. Quinn echoed this sentiment, emphasizing Impact's commitment to remaining privately owned and US-focused, which he sees as a competitive advantage.
Impact's growth is driven by a market reality where outsourcing IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing has become a strategic imperative for mid-market companies. The company's model—enterprise-scale capability delivered with local care—is designed to meet this demand. With over 700 industry experts across 23 US locations, Impact is poised for continued expansion.
Quinn's charter includes scaling the company's financial infrastructure, supporting investment in talent and technology, and ensuring durable growth. His experience advising CEOs on M&A, workforce design, and digital enablement positions him as a growth architect for Impact's next phase.
Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois, Impact Networking is one of the nation's fastest-growing MSPs. The company offers an integrated service portfolio including print and marketing services, enabling mid-market companies to operate with enterprise-grade capability and local-level care. Impact has stated it will never be sold or acquired.
