Networking w/ Senior MDs and Group Heads?

Is it okay to send emails to alums who are very senior within their firms? I'm talking Global Heads, Senior MDs, etc. Would I come off as retarded? If so, what could be the worst that happens? Is that risk to great to overcome a potentially very helpful connection? (If that would even be the case)

Thanks in advance
