Unique situation. Maybe follow up on his intro with a friendly intro to yourself, a few things you've done and a copy of your CV and a hint at being open to chat on the phone or over a coffee to learn more about them?

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard
