Lots of ways.

Social engineering by calling his secretary and sussing out his availability that way - but probably not this because that involves recorded contact.

Phishing or a planted usb could also allow someone to get into an unsecured part of the system - from my experience in an infosec adjacent company, medical orgs have THE WORST tech security because they’re John Hammond and don’t pay for that shit. Maybe patient files are secured, but the outlook/calendar password is “UnitedHealth” and the hospital admin have poor user profile separation, so the computer used by reception has almost as much access as a computer used by the exec, they just regulate access via login credentials.

The most likely explanation however, is that investor and board meetings are often on a predictable schedule and often publicly announced.
