I am meeting a Swiss Banking CEO tomorrow for 2 hours - what should i ask him?

Hello guys

I am a student from the best ranked university in Switzerland and we have a pretty nice mentoring sheme here. Old students (Alumni), which studied here +ten years ago get to pick 1-2 students and be a mentor for them until they are finished with uni. I guess he choose me, because i will work in a M&A Boutique in London (think Guggenheim etc.). So my question is, what should i ask him? He is working in a Private Banking Bank with CHF 110 bn assets with an Alternativ Investments arm (Hedge Fund CHF 9bn). My goal is M&A large cap or PE large cap.

Anyone have ideas? What should I ask? Maybe ask for a internship or some contacts he has? haha

Thanks bros!

If you have to ask a forum for questions, you don't have the right to meet this guy in the first place. Remember, son, there are always kids that are hungrier than you are and come better prepared
