F500 C-Level
Here is the deal:
One of my close family members is a C-Level Executive (General Counsel/Law Dept.) at a healthcare company that is somewhere in the F1000 (used to be F500). They did some solid M&A deals a few years ago but nothing recent. I am going to contact him soon to see if he can hook me up with the head of their Corp. Finance and Strategy Team so I can set up an informational interview, pick his brain, and hopefully get some bankers' contact info and a referral from him.
Am I simplifying this?? To me, it seems like a slam dunk in terms of getting a direct introduction to people in IBD. Is there anyone who has had a similar networking opportunity and can share their experience, provide some advice, etc?
Are you also a family member of the head of Corp Finance & Strategy? If not, the close family member will probably have to help you network on his own.
Not really sure why I was vague in my description, but my dad is head of General Counsel/Law. He obviously works directly with the head of Corp Finance & Strategy, who I have no relation to. I have witnessed first hand the relationships my dad has with the big law firm offices in the area (dinners, sporting events, you name it) and I can't help but think that the head of Corp Fin & Strat has the same rapport with the I-Banks in the area.
Unless YOU personally know the head of Corp Finance & Strategy well, don't expect him to help you network. There's just too many jumps here.
Thanks for the info IP. I am pretty sure I will at least be able to set up a quick phone call with him and then see where it goes.
Anyone else been in a similar situation and found success?
