What to ask C-Level Bus. Dev. person?

Recently got a phone call with the chief strategy officer / head of business development at one of the largest pharma/biotech companies, through a cold email (college alumnus). In general, what kinds of questions would you ask such a person during an informational interview if your end goal is an internship at the firm?

Also, in general, how would the questions that you ask during an informational interview differ depending on the seniority of the individual that you're talking to.
