BB/EB IB MD exit opps

Hi all, was wondering about the exit opps for an MD at an EB/BB in his early-mid forties who already has a rolodex of clients - is winning buyside roles at MF PE at the MD/Partner level possible in these cases given that everything is mostly sales at the highest levels? Or C-suite/CEO/CFO at a F250 company

Unlike an IB VP or Director who has some sort of seniority but does not have a rolodex yet due to the nature of their job (more of project management and liaison)
