Who to contact in Corporate Finance?

So if I were to contact someone in corporate finance, for informational interviews and internships in the future, who would be an ideal person to contact?

Note: I don't have a specific industry in mind at the moment.

Thanks

I wouldn't go after senior directors to start. Maybe if you have some sort of connection to them. Aim for Financial Analysts to Manager level guys. Really the most help they will be is getting your res past HR (which should get you at least a phone interview). From there, it's up to you to do well in the interviews.

Shoot for Manager/Sr. Manager/Director. Anyone lower than Manager typically won't have enough pull to get you an internship (or create an internship for you... this happens). Anyone higher likely won't have the time and may ignore a college student. Honestly, it probably depends more on the person than it does their title, so you just have to reach out to a bunch of different people.
