Alberto Riva is the senior money editor for CNN Underscored, responsible for coverage of credit cards, points and miles, and travel.
A native Milanese, Alberto got his start in journalism covering business and transportation in Italy. He later moved to the US to work for CNN in Atlanta and then made a home in New York, where he has held journalism jobs including producing morning news at Bloomberg Radio and leading Vice News as managing editor. In 2017, he turned his passion for points and miles into a job, becoming the fist managing editor at The Points Guy.
Alberto is fluent in French and Spanish, happy to mangle German, and sometimes even able to find a use for the Latin and classic Greek he studied. He lives in Brooklyn, and when he's not collecting those points and miles, he enjoys skiing, mountaineering, and indulging his love of aviation by flying on as many airlines as he can.
