Jeff Smith, Managing Member, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Investment Officer of Starboard Value LP, presented his firm’s high-conviction investment ideas at the 2025 13D Monitor Active-Passive Investor Summit. Drawing on Starboard’s history of successful business transformations, Smith detailed three opportunities where significant value creation can be unlocked through strategic operational improvement and structural realignment.
