Carrying Conversation with MDs

Have an upcoming call with a managing director at a well respected private equity firm. First time doing this but unsure how I may come across … used to have a life sciences background but picked up on finance knowledge and interests rather quick.

what are some general guidelines or questions to suggest beyond the getting to know him and career path? Don’t want to come off amateurish to say the least.

Thank you so much. Tend to over think these things!
