Vital Impact, a professional services platform backed by Concentric Equity Partners, retained Lantern Partners to recruit their Chief Financial Officer. Formed through the combination of Kiwi Partners, Redstone Strategy Group, and Vital Impact Advisors, Vital Impact provides a differentiated blend of accounting, advisory, and strategic consulting services to mission-driven organizations. As the company works to define a new category in the social sector and build the leading multi-practice services firm in the market, Vital Impact sought a proven finance leader with deep professional services experience, strong command of financial systems and reporting, and the ability to serve as a trusted partner to the CEO, Board, and business leaders. We are pleased to announce the appointment of Lauren Hadley as Chief Financial Officer.
Hadley brings deep financial leadership experience, with a strong track record of building scalable finance functions, partnering with executive teams, and supporting organizations through periods of growth and transformation. Most recently, she served as Chief Financial Officer of Spinnaker SCA, where she helped professionalize the finance function, strengthened board reporting, improved visibility into utilization and practice-level profitability, and played a central role in the company’s successful sale to Publicis Sapient.
At Vital Impact, Hadley will join the executive leadership team and assume responsibility for the company’s finance organization. She will be instrumental in strengthening financial visibility, enhancing reporting and planning capabilities, supporting integration across the business, and helping leadership make disciplined decisions around growth, margin performance, and operational investment. Her appointment further strengthens Vital Impact’s ability to scale with rigor while advancing its mission of helping high-impact organizations operate more effectively and achieve greater impact.
