Amtrak Chief Kummant Is Said to Be Leaving Railroad (Update2)
By John Hughes and Angela Greiling Keane
Nov. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Amtrak Chief Executive Officer Alex Kummant plans to announce his resignation today from the U.S. passenger railroad, people familiar with the matter said.
Kummant, 48, has led the Washington-based carrier since September 2006. The people asked not to be identified because the CEO's departure hasn't been made public. Amtrak has ``no comment for now,'' spokesman Cliff Black said in an e-mail.
Kummant's departure will give President-elect Barack Obama an opportunity to put his stamp on the railroad. The Bush administration, which appointed Kummant, sought to cut federal subsidies and force Amtrak to operate more like a business.

(In this case, it appears ZoomInfo has conflated some of Alex Kummant's information with that of his wife Kathleen, also a railroad executive.)
