First of all, good luck and congrats on getting that meeting.
I am in no way qualified to answer this, but here would be my guess:
1) Don't be too pushy. Let the conversation flow casually at first, and don't go straight to the point.
2) Mention the reasons that you want to go into banking, as well as why you think you are qualified to do so.
3) Be humble and ask him for advice on shifting into banking in general, then depending on how he reacts ask him how you should position yourself to move into the BB.
Again this may not be the best advice, but I think a lot of it depends on how the conversation flows with this guy... if he likes you and whatnot. Of course, come prepared with resume and business cards, but #1 thing to keep in mind is to make him like you, so don't force the conversation and just try to be yourself/be friendly.
Boa sorte amigo
Make sure that he likes you, concisely and succinctly summarize your situation and then ask him out right.
