Cold emailing an alumni MD

Hey guys, I was wondering if cold emailing an alumni thats an MD of deal advisory at a big 4 firm is a bit too aggressive? I know generally it's better to get in touch with mid level employees and get referred to someone higher up, but this person is really the only alumni from my school in my target city/division.
