Another prominent activist investor is turning the screws on San Francisco's largest employer

As its stock slumps and layoffs mount at San Francisco's largest tech company, another prominent Wall Street shark is beginning to circle.the investment firm announced Monday

. The exact amount is not yet been disclosed but is estimated to be a"multibillion-dollar stake" in the company. “Salesforce is one of the preeminent software companies in the world, and having followed the company for nearly two decades, we have developed a deep respect for Marc Benioff and what he has built,” said Jesse Cohn, managing partner at Elliott in a statement. “We look forward to working constructively with Salesforce to realize the value befitting a company of its stature.”Elliott has been involved in pushing for changes at tech companies ranging from Paypal Holdings Inc., Pinterest Inc.

Salesforce's market capitalization is now $151 billion, down from a peak of more than $300 billion in 2021, and the company just instituted a significant round of layoffs. The company stated in an SEC filing at the beginning of 2023 that it would cut roughly 10% of its nearly 80,000-person global workforce and reduce its office space in some markets. Locally, that translated to a total of 752 employees across its offices in the city, according to a notice under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act filed Jan. 4.
