Stephen Pagliuca, o-chairman at Bain Capital to not high-profile conference in Saudi Arabia

Stephen Pagliuca, co-chairman at U.S. private equity firm Bain Capital, will not attend a high-profile conference in Saudi Arabia, a source familiar with the matter said on Monday.

Pagliuca's withdrawal follows decisions by several senior U.S. executives to withdraw amid concerns about missing Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a critic of the kingdom and a U.S. resident.
