Kyle Schornick to Succeed Henning von Kalm as CFO Following Transition Period
HOUSTON, May 19, 2026 /CNW/ - Connor, Clark & Lunn Infrastructure (CC&L Infrastructure) and Alpenglow Rail Services Corp. (Alpenglow) today announced a planned transition in Alpenglow's executive team. Kyle Schornick has joined Alpenglow as Chief Financial Officer and will succeed co-founder Henning von Kalm, who will continue to support Alpenglow through a transition period.
Mr. Schornick brings a strong track record of capital markets execution, infrastructure investing, and operational finance across rail, logistics, and midstream platforms.
Mr. von Kalm co-founded Alpenglow alongside Chief Executive Officer Rich Montgomery and Chief Strategy Officer Josh Huster and has served as Chief Financial Officer since its inception. He has played a critical role in building Alpenglow into a leading North American rail terminal platform, with a portfolio of six terminals across Canada and the U.S. Gulf Coast. He will remain actively engaged through the transition period and will continue to support Alpenglow in an advisory capacity going forward.
"Henning has been a partner and friend since well before there was an Alpenglow, and what we have built together is a reflection of his discipline and commitment to building a high-quality, durable business," said Rich Montgomery, Chief Executive Officer of Alpenglow. "Kyle is a proven financial leader with deep experience in infrastructure and logistics. His ability to allocate capital effectively, execute complex transactions, and support growth while maintaining financial discipline makes him an outstanding addition as we continue to scale."
Mr. Schornick joins Alpenglow from USD Group LLC, where he served as Chief Financial Officer of a publicly traded, sponsor-backed rail infrastructure platform. In that role, he led corporate finance, capital markets, investor relations, and strategic planning, and executed on several large-scale transactions and rail infrastructure projects.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Schornick held senior roles in acquisitions and corporate development at USD Group and began his career in energy investment banking at Macquarie Capital and in equity research at Raymond James.
"I have followed Alpenglow's growth with great respect and am excited to join a platform with such a strong reputation for safety, reliability, and customer service," said Kyle Schornick. "I look forward to partnering with the team to support continued growth and deliver value to customers and investors."
"I am very proud of what we built over the last decade, and I am confident Alpenglow has the people and assets to deliver strong results for many years to come," said Henning von Kalm. "In Kyle, Alpenglow has the ideal leader to guide its financial stewardship into the next chapter, and I look forward to supporting him, Rich, and the team in an advisory capacity going forward."
