Choose the right perspective
Match the person's engineering area to your question: an R&D, systems or product development engineering leader suits questions about developing new devices, while a manufacturing, industrialization or global integrated engineering leader suits questions about plants, processes and capital projects. Check how long the person has held the current BD role before asking about recent practice.
Questions to take into the conversation
