Where do you see yourself in 3 years?

Ask a lot about his the vision of the company. What he thinks are threats. What he thinks his competitors are doing well. Those sort of questions.

Come with some of your own ideas if you can. Where do you see the industry going? What challenges have you noted? Why is the company so exciting to you? What are they doing that is so innovative?

As C1 wrote, ask questions that help you understand whether this is a company you want to jump ship for and stay in long term. Culture, firm growth, personal development topics. Ask for macro, firm level and personal perspectives. Always interesting for example to hear what the CEO thinks is their differentiator, why he or she decided to call their company home out of the myriad options, and what makes them believe this should be your home too.
