Networking with senior-level people

Hi! I'm a junior at a target school. I've been networking with analysts/associates who are alums of my college, but I haven't networked with senior-level individuals before.

I recently found an alum on LinkedIn who went to my same high school and college who's senior-level at a company of interest - is it a good idea to cold email, or how would you recommend going about networking with them?
