In a surprising turn of events, the CEO of NEOM, the ambitious futuristic city project in Saudi Arabia, has been replaced. This leadership change comes as Saudi Arabia scales back its mega-projects, prompting speculation about the future direction of the NEOM initiative. The decision follows several statements from the outgoing CEO, Nadhmi Al-Nasr, regarding management practices that raised eyebrows. The NEOM Board of Directors has announced the appointment of a new acting CEO, signaling a reset for the vast desert megacity project.
