Final interview tomorrow and I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

I've researched the company, put together a brief 30, 60, 90-day plan and have a few questions prepared that showed that I understand the company. It's been a long time since I've had a final interview and tomorrow with a senior SLT member. I'd appreciate your advice!

I always like to ask questions that get the interviewer thinking about me doing the job I'm applying for:
"What do I need to do in the next 30 days to impress you" or some question like that.
AND
Ask a question that puts the interviewer in a good frame of mind by asking them to reminisce about themselves:
"What advice would you give your younger self if they were hired for this position?"
Good luck!

Congratulations for reaching the final interview! There must be something special about you for you to have made it this far. You've clearly done all your homework. So today, take a deep breath, relax and get a good night's sleep. You've got this! And please let us know when you start your new job! God bless you!

How exciting! Usually at this stage, the other interviewers have decided you have the skills and experience they're looking for. The final interview is often to get a sense of your personality and how you might get along with the team / stakeholders.
The company wouldn't waste a SLT member's time if they didn't think you have what it takes. You could check out their LinkedIn profile and see if they've written any recommendations to get a sense of what traits they like. Hope it goes well!

One question I've found useful if this person is SLT but not directly in your reporting line is "what are the issues or achievements that you are aware of from this depth?" It lets you know what are the things that are reported/ discussed at a higher level :)
And, as others have said, we'll done you!!
