Altour president Gabe Rizzi has stepped down from the role, with former CWT executive Brian Mogler succeeding him to lead the travel management company, parent company Internova Travel Group announced on Wednesday.
Rizzi, who said he is stepping back to spend more time with his family, "has played a significant role in Altour's evolution" over the past decade, according to Internova. He formally became Altour's president in 2024 as Internova—which formed under a reorganization of the former Travel Leaders Group following its merger with Altour—combined Travel Leaders Corporate and Altour into a single brand. He was named Internova's president in 2021 and prior to that was president and chief sales officer of Travel Leaders Corporate.
Rizzi led that unification of Internova's corporate travel businesses under the Altour brand, and BTN named him to its 25 Most Influential of 2025 list last year for Altour's role as the fulfillment choice of several major technology innovators.
"I’m deeply proud of what we've accomplished together but even more grateful for the extraordinary people I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside," Rizzi said in a statement. "We've built something truly special, and I know Altour's best days are still ahead."
Rizzi is staying with the company in a senior advisor role and will work closely with Mogler on the transition, according to the company. Mogler was with CWT for more than 14 years, most recently as EVP and chief partnership officer, and prior to that he worked in senior leadership roles at American Express in business travel operations, supplier partner relations and travel consulting. He also worked in sales and marketing leadership roles at United Airlines for 12 years.
"Brian brings exceptional experience, strong industry relationships and a deep understanding of global corporate travel," Internova CEO J.D. O'Hara said in a statement. "He’s the right leader to build on what Gabe and the team have created and take Altour into its next chapter."
