Nadhmi al-Nasr, who has managed Neom’s construction since 2018, departed from his post in recent days, leaving while the project is plagued with uncertainty.
Nasr earned a chilling reputation managing Neom. He bragged that he drove everyone “like a slave”, adding, “When they drop down dead, I celebrate. That’s how I do my projects.” In one incident, after two video game companies cancelled their sponsorship deals with Neom, Nasr threatened his communications team, saying that he would “take a gun from under my desk and shoot you” unless he was told who was responsible for the deals falling through.
According to the WSJ report, two other controversial foreign executives have also left Neom.
Borg was known for his tirades, in which he reportedly disparaged Islam, made lewd references about sexual positions and said women from the Arabian Gulf looked like “transvestites”.
He also called South Asian migrant workers at Neom “fucking morons” and said that “white people are at the top of the pecking order".
Probably left to work for the new administration. Probably make a great Secretary of education. Get those test scores up
LEGO must be sh**ing themselves at allowing this project to be featured on their UK packaging last Christmas?

Shame, he seemed like a nice guy \s

Now if they were trying to make deals with me, I’d say you. Nasr, you’re responsible.
