In 1909, he was a Cuban consul to Marseille, and one year later he became the inspector of consulates and administrator of the National Bank of Cuba. In 1919, after his father, Nicolás Rivero y Muñiz, was posthumously granted the title of the 1st Count of Rivero, he automatically became the 2nd Count of Rivero[1] and also became the Administrator of his father's newspaper, Diario de la Marina, for a time.[2][3]
In 1929, Rivero was appointed the position of Honorary Consul General of Hungary to Havana.[4] His brother was José Ignacio Rivero Alonso ("Pepín" Rivero) who became the director of Diario de la Marina while Nicolás Rivero pursued the life of Cuban diplomacy.[5][1] In 1935, Rivero became the first Cuban ambassador to the Holy See.[1] He lived in Rome while serving in this post, at the official residence of the ambassador next to the Holy See, and also served as the 3rd Cuban ambassador to Austria.[6]
