Internova Travel Group has named Gabe Rizzi as president of Altour as it plans to retire the Travel Leaders Corporate brand name, the travel services company announced.
Internova formed under the reorganization of the former Travel Leaders Group in 2020, three years after its merger with Altour. The company also announced the combination of Travel Leaders Corporate and Altour’s corporate travel business under a single brand at the time; the Travel Leaders Corporate name will be sunset “in the coming weeks,” according to a spokesperson, with all united under the Altour name.
Rizzi, who joined Internova in 2016, already was president of Internova’s corporate travel division and now is expanding his role to president of Altour. Altour CEO Alexandre Chemla, who started Altour in 1991, left the position at the end of 2023.
In addition to his new role, Rizzi also will continue to be responsible for Internova’s international network of partners including Travel Leaders International, Corporate Travel Services in Mexico and the UK-headquartered Your Event Solutions.
Travel Leaders Corporate president Michael Boult will continue to have a senior leadership role at Altour, reporting to Rizzi, the spokesperson said.
