Recall Masters Appoints Dunning President
John Dunning has been named president of Recall Masters after establishing a track record of innovation and implementation in a variety of roles.


LAGUNA HILLS, Calif. — Recall Masters Inc. announced the appointment of John Dunning as president. Dunning now oversees all day-to-day operations, including finance, investor relations, human resources, sales, marketing, technology development, and client services. The appointment comes at a time when the recall solutions provider is growing fast and has become a top vendor in the automotive industry, all according to the announcement.
Directors noted Dunning brings more than two decades of experience to Recall Masters as an entrepreneur, investor, and operational executive. His expertise ranges from founding CEO at Confident Financial Services (now DigniFi) to serving as a critical team member in several San Francisco-based software startups, to working as a venture capitalist. He also founded and served as CEO of two Boulder, Colorado-based technology startups and has served as an advisor to several software businesses.
“I’m very honored and excited to join such an impressive team of individuals dedicated to vehicle safety. This is a pivotal moment, not only for Recall Masters but also for the automotive industry, state and local government and consumers,” Dunning said. “While fingers point at who is to blame for the recall crisis, Recall Masters is procuring the most comprehensive knowledgebase of vehicle owners and recall data, developing innovative technology and deploying effective communications that engage consumers and compel recall compliance. We are beyond the point where blame plays any part in helping consumers and are focused on solutions.”
