Questions

I just want to meet him for a quick coffee (I know time is valuable and when visiting from another country, these kind of people are generally open) and I do know some people that know the person I want to reach out to, but I don't know how to ask them.

You don't mention why you want to be introduced to this high profile person. If it's to sit down for a networking coffee that's fine, as long as it's not just a pretense for asking for money or advice.

On the other hand, I think you're making too much out of this. If you already know people who know the person, just reach out to them, tell them why you'd like to meet this person, and ask if they would be comfortable making an introduction.

Just make sure you're honest about why you want to meet. Otherwise you'll destroy the trust with this person and with the people in your referral network.

Good luck, and feel free to set up a call if you want to discuss further.
