Shane Copeland is leaving his role as interim CEO at AppraiserLoft to lead the western division of Kirchmeyer & Associates, a collateral valuations provider. He served as chief executive for about a month, assuming the post Aug. 2. Before that, Copeland served as senior vice president of national sales at the San Diego-based appraisal firm. Copeland stepped into the interim post when Aman Makkar resigned as chief executive of AppraiserLoft. Makkar remains with the firm to work on new initiatives in mobile technology not related to AppraiserLoft?s core valuation businesses, according to the company. A replacement for Copeland was not immediately named. Copeland previously worked in executive sales positions at Stewart Lender Services and ServiceLink, as well as DataQuick and First American Title Insurance. Write to Jacob Gaffney.
