1 on 1 meeting with a senior executive..what to ask?

[Peatree]

Research research research. Is your company public or private. What are your profit centers? How do you make money? What are your margins? Are the typical in the industry? What eats at your margins? What are your largest expenses? Is there anything you can bring to the table to control or lower them?

My advice is to learn as much about your company's qrtly, annual, long term and short term goals. Give him ideas on how you feel about them and how to help achieve them.

This is more than likely all spelled out in your company's mission statements or somewhere.

Research and if you do not know - ask! Be passionite about it too!

Hope this helps!
