Create More Value Podcast: Glenn Welling on How Activists Create Value

Investing in small and mid-cap public companies can be tricky, but Glenn Welling, founder and chief investment officer of Engaged Capital, has made a name for himself in the industry. About being an activist, he said, “When we arrive, nobody ever wants us there… [but] once we’ve been there for 90 days, nobody wants us to leave.” With a background in investment banking and strategy consulting, Glenn brings valuable skills to each company he invests in. Glenn shared what Engaged Capital looks for when identifying companies to invest in and what companies can do to keep activists away. He also shared some of the more interesting situations his firm has faced, including an investment where the board included a priest and a nun as directors.

The “Create More Value” podcast is a series of conversations with senior executives, board members, and other experts on how they were able to create exceptional value for their companies. These lessons can help leaders embrace better insights, decisions, and corporate culture to drive long-term results for all of their stakeholders. We cover a wide range of subjects, from corporate strategy to governance to best practices for boards and managements alike.
