c. Tim Cook
d. None of the above

ANSWER: Jeffrey Smith
 
Yahoo Inc's management team and directors have given a warm welcome to Starboard Value LP chief executive Jeffrey Smith since he joined the company's board after a contentious battle on May 2nd.
  • The founder of the activist hedge fund is coming off a major agreement struck with Yahoo in a deal in which Smith and three associates joined the internet company's board of directors after a contentious battle that nearly went to a shareholder vote.
  • After more than a year of pushing for business and leadership changes at Yahoo, Starboard nominated a nine-member slate this spring to replace Yahoo's entire board. With the proxy battle now finished, the company is pressing ahead with the auction of its core business.
