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?

IlliniProgrammerAre 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.

Wall Street leaders now understand that they made a mistake, one born of their innocent and trusting nature. They trusted ordinary Americans to behave more responsibly than they themselves ever would, and these ordinary Americans betrayed their trust.
