In this episode of Solomon Connects, Solomon Partners’ Head of M&A and COO of Investment Banking Jeff Jacobs joins M&A Director Chris Moynihan to discuss how shareholder activism is becoming more prevalent, faster-moving, and increasingly focused on strategic change rather than simply financial performance and governance. They explore how activists are positioning themselves as constructive partners and why proactive self-assessment, clear communication, and shareholder engagement are critical as companies head into the upcoming proxy season.
