Impact Networking, a leading managed service provider, has appointed John Quinn as Chief Financial Officer, the company announced today. The move underscores Impact's commitment to strengthening its leadership infrastructure to sustain its exponential growth trajectory and expanding service offerings.
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, 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, cloud enablement, and organizational design.
Impact Networking has spent over two decades building an integrated service portfolio encompassing IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing, all under one roof. The company serves mid-market clients who increasingly require a single accountable partner to manage complex technology and security needs. Quinn's appointment reflects Impact's focus on building the internal architecture to capture this growing demand.
"We've built something genuinely differentiated at Impact, the kind of company that mid-market leaders have been looking for but couldn't find. One partner, across every critical service, at enterprise scale, with the local relationships that make it work," 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."
Quinn's role will include scaling financial infrastructure, supporting investment in talent and technology, and ensuring durable growth. "What drew me to Impact is what makes it rare in this industry. It is built for clients, not for a transaction," 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's growth is driven by mid-market companies reaching a pivot point where outsourcing IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing becomes a strategic imperative. Impact's model delivers enterprise-scale capability with local care from a company that will never be acquired. Quinn's appointment follows a period of significant momentum, including expansion of service lines, geographic footprint, and client base.
