a VP of what? in AM, titles are misleading. Everyone is a VP or Sr. VP or SR SR VP you get my point. Sales / analytics / development

^^^ It took me a while to catch on to this.

OP, what specific position are you interviewing for? That's what you prepare for. If it's ER, you prepare with research questions; if sales; then know what products you're hawking; if PM, then know what the markets are doing, and so on...
