John Burnett joined default management and collateral valuation company Integrated Asset Services as chief operating officer. As an 18-year veteran of the industry, Burnett has extensive management experience in the real estate-owned, foreclosure, valuation, bankruptcy and loss mitigation divisions. Prior to IAS, Burnett worked at IBM-Lender Business Process Services, Wilshire Credit Corp., Wells Fargo Bank (WFC) and Washington Mutual Bank, holding senior positions at each firm.
