Activist Shareholder, Daniel Loeb seeks to Gain Seats on Yahoo! Board

After spending years working behind the scenes to push for change, the hedge fund manager is once again openly admonishing management and battling a corporate board. The target: Yahoo.

He has also sketched out a turnaround strategy for Yahoo that does not necessarily match management’s vision.
