Rizzi to remain with Internova Travel Group as Senior Advisor following a decade of leadership.
NEW YORK, NY (November 11, 2026) – ALTOUR, a global leader in business travel management, today announced that Gabe Rizzi has made the decision to step down as President after a decade with the organization. Rizzi will transition into a Senior Advisor role at Internova Travel Group, while travel industry veteran Brian Mogler will join as ALTOUR’s new President.
Rizzi’s decision follows a decade of leading and helping transform ALTOUR into a unified global business. He is stepping back from operating leadership to spend more time with his family.
Since joining the organization in 2016, Rizzi has played a significant role in ALTOUR’s evolution. Under his leadership, Internova brought its corporate travel businesses together under the ALTOUR brand, strengthened its international network and united business travel and meetings and events into one global organization. He also championed sustainability 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.
“Gabe has given an extraordinary amount to this organization over the past decade,” said J.D. O’Hara, CEO of Internova Travel Group. “He helped shape ALTOUR into the business it is today, and his leadership, partnership and commitment to our people have made a lasting impact. I’ve known Gabe a long time, and I fully support his decision. I’m grateful that we’ll continue to benefit from his experience and perspective.”
Mogler brings more than 35 years of travel industry experience and extensive expertise in global corporate travel. Most recently, he served as Executive Vice President and Chief Partnership Officer at CWT, where he was a member of the executive leadership team and oversaw global supplier relationships, strategic partnerships and the company’s global partner network. Previously, he spent 12 years at American Express, holding senior leadership roles across business travel operations, supplier partner relations and travel consulting. He began his career at United Airlines, where he spent 12 years in sales and marketing leadership roles.
As President, Mogler will oversee ALTOUR’s operations and business performance, working with the leadership team to execute the company’s strategy and continue building on its global capabilities.
“Brian brings exceptional leadership experience, strong industry relationships and a deep understanding of the complexities of global corporate travel,” said O’Hara. “He is the right leader to build on the foundation Gabe and the team have created and take ALTOUR into its next chapter. I’m confident in what we can accomplish under his leadership.”
“I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built at ALTOUR and the people who have made it possible,” said Rizzi. “After a decade of leading this business, I feel the time is right to step back and focus more on my family. ALTOUR has an exceptional team and tremendous opportunities ahead, and I look forward to supporting Brian as he takes the business forward.”
Rizzi and Mogler will work closely together to ensure a smooth transition for employees, clients and partners. ALTOUR’s strategy and commitment to service excellence remain unchanged.
