Ackman was an "activist" hedge fund manager , known for having made big changes to the boards of the companies that he had invested in as well as having provided his shareholders with handsome returns. In light of this event, Green held a meeting with the Chairman of CPR´s Board, John Cleghorn to discuss how the situation should be handled.
