Latest episode in the series

Activists are not monolithic and it is critical that companies today understand how activist types and styles impact engagement and campaigns. In this inaugural episode, Julian Pritchard and Leza Bieber are joined by Lauren Odell, Partner at Gladstone Place Partners to examine the nuances of engaging with first-time activists.

Moving beyond established funds, our experts analyze new entrants and the unique incentives driving their pursuit of market recognition. We explore why boards should treat every campaign with equal rigor and offer a specialized advisory lens on engaging with unconventional strategies designed to capture shareholder attention and bypass traditional communication channels.
