I met with a pretty high up exec and shortly after meeting him I sent him a thank you email. Would it be redundant to send him a thank you card? Thoughts?

Nah, a handwritten note is a nice touch.
Agree.
Manners go a long way. Definitely send out a card, and good luck!
I'm sorry, but a thank you card on top of the email is too much and just screams kiss-ass. A nice email should be fine. If the relationship is going anywhere you will exchange more emails,texts, or bloombergs.
Gekko is definitely right. You might as well buy him some chocolates and send flowers to his wife on his behalf, too. A thank you email is more than enough these days. Your hand-written crap would just end up in the trash anyway, unless, paradoxically, it's a woman higher-up you met with (ROFL)
Send flowers or chocolates...
Agree wit hGekko21, NO WAY do you send a thank you handwritten note after a thank you email. That's absurd. What are you going to say in the handwritten note that you haven't said in the email. Plus, he will likley already have decided about you before he recieves the handwritten note...it won't make any difference
For a high level exec like that, I think the play is just to send a hand written note and forget about the email. Then, if you have any questions/further communication you can send emails/texts/whatever. Email + letter is a little much.
I think chocolates and flowers are the completely WRONG direction to go in. You might as well mail the flowers to the cemetery where your career is soon to be buried. When I want to make an extra impression I send a double thank you email - an email that has a second thank you email as an attachment. It is gaining popularity rapidly and will soon be the standard.
