Gabe Rizzi is stepping down as president of Altour after a decade with the corporate travel management company. Brian Mogler, most recently executive vice president and chief partnership officer at CWT, will succeed him, while Rizzi will stay with parent company Internova Travel Group as a senior advisor.
Rizzi joined the organization in 2016 and oversaw the consolidation of Internova’s corporate travel businesses under the Altour brand. During his tenure, Altour expanded its international network and brought business travel, meetings, and events into a single global operation. Rizzi also championed sustainability initiatives and the adoption of artificial intelligence across the business. In 2025, Business Travel News named him one of its 25 Most Influential People in business travel.
“This wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s the right time for me to spend more time with my family,” Rizzi said in a statement. “I look forward to supporting Brian and the team in my new role.”
Mogler brings more than 35 years of travel industry experience to Altour. At CWT, he served on the executive leadership team and oversaw global supplier relationships, strategic partnerships and the company’s international partner network. He previously spent 12 years at American Express in senior roles spanning business travel operations, supplier relations, and travel consulting. He began his career at United Airlines, where he spent 12 years in sales and marketing leadership roles.

“Brian brings exceptional experience, strong industry relationships, and a deep understanding of global corporate travel,” said J.D. O’Hara, Internova’s CEO.
As president, Mogler will oversee Altour’s operations and business performance, with a presence in more than 90 countries. He will work with the company’s leadership team to carry out its strategy and develop its global operations. Internova said Rizzi and Mogler will work together during the handoff for employees, clients, and partners. The company did not specify Mogler’s start date in its announcement.
