  • Named managing director of AlUla
  • Also CEO of Red Sea Global
  • Other roles at Neom and KAFD

Giga-project chief John Pagano is adding another Saudi top job to his CV. He has been named managing director at AlUla Development Company and will perform the role alongside his existing job as group CEO of Red Sea Global. 

This makes Pagano responsible for three Public Investment Fund-owned developments: the Red Sea, Amaala and AlUla. He is also managing director of KAFD Destination Management Company and a board member at Neom. 

Pagano succeeds Fabien Toscano as boss of AlUla and will oversee four operational hotels and the Maraya Concert Hall at the development. Toscano is moving to Jeddah Economic Company as CEO.

“Pagano will steer our strategic direction across asset development, operations, partnerships and long-term initiatives, reinforcing our role as a key driver of AlUla’s transformation in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030,” AlUla Development Company said in a statement.

The 66-year-old Canadian, who was previously managing director of the Canary Wharf development in London, joined RSG as group CEO in 2018. Other giga-project chiefs have come and gone since then, while Pagano has held on. 

Earlier this year he was awarded Saudi citizenship, a rarity in the region. In October, he told Reuters he had joined the board of directors at Neom. 

RSG opened its first ultra-luxury resort in November 2023. Four more resorts opened in 2024 and five this year. Pagano has said it will open another 17 by May 2026.

“Our ambitions are beyond just the Saudi Arabian market,” Pagano said in October. He added that RSG was looking at a tourism project in Italy as its first venture abroad.

“That’s done, done, done, done,” said Pagano, when asked how far along the overseas deal had come.

AGBI has contacted Pagano via RSG for comment.

Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment?

Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment?

The post Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 17:39 Is dogecoin really fading? As traders hunt the best crypto to buy now and weigh 2025 picks, Dogecoin (DOGE) still owns the meme coin spotlight, yet upside looks capped, today’s Dogecoin price prediction says as much. Attention is shifting to projects that blend culture with real on-chain tools. Buyers searching “best crypto to buy now” want shipped products, audits, and transparent tokenomics. That frames the true matchup: dogecoin vs. Pepeto. Enter Pepeto (PEPETO), an Ethereum-based memecoin with working rails: PepetoSwap, a zero-fee DEX, plus Pepeto Bridge for smooth cross-chain moves. By fusing story with tools people can use now, and speaking directly to crypto presale 2025 demand, Pepeto puts utility, clarity, and distribution in front. In a market where legacy meme coin leaders risk drifting on sentiment, Pepeto’s execution gives it a real seat in the “best crypto to buy now” debate. First, a quick look at why dogecoin may be losing altitude. Dogecoin Price Prediction: Is Doge Really Fading? Remember when dogecoin made crypto feel simple? In 2013, DOGE turned a meme into money and a loose forum into a movement. A decade on, the nonstop momentum has cooled; the backdrop is different, and the market is far more selective. With DOGE circling ~$0.268, the tape reads bearish-to-neutral for the next few weeks: hold the $0.26 shelf on daily closes and expect choppy range-trading toward $0.29–$0.30 where rallies keep stalling; lose $0.26 decisively and momentum often bleeds into $0.245 with risk of a deeper probe toward $0.22–$0.21; reclaim $0.30 on a clean daily close and the downside bias is likely neutralized, opening room for a squeeze into the low-$0.30s.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
