I think that's all that really matters. VP's are high level and won't be in your shit every day like a manager.

Get straight to it.... "Why are you here?" and "Have you approved my salary increase yet?"

How do you communicate up and down in the company.

I gain a lot of traction with management by just asking: “So what’s your story?” and letting them talk
People will like you more if you invite them to talk to you

What are you measuring for success? What goals have been set for you? How do you plan on achieving? Where do I fit in?

Ask any question related to "Strategy". Like Sunbunny mentioned, maybe Strategy for growth. If they tell you their "Goal" or "Ambitions" instead of strategy, I'm already sorry for you.

I assume you'll ask it, but just in case: "How'd you adapt the business to the impact of the pandemic in your last role?"
I'd imagine you'll learn a whole lot about his business philosophy and ability to adapt processes very quickly.

Assuming it's relevant to whatever his last gig is, I suppose.
