I'm currently thinking about cold-emailing a partner at an EB but am hesitant because he seems to be a pretty big deal (i.e. good amount of newspaper articles about him etc.). The thing is that we're from the same country (which is pretty far away from the U.S. and accordingly represented by very few bankers in NYC) and he went to the - very small - college (also in said country) that pretty much my entire family except me went to.
Should I email this guy given that this connection really is pretty unique or should I stay away from him?
Leaning towards the former but it would be great to get some input.
