Well this is the most important question that an interviewer ask and how you answer this question, make a lot of difference you being selected or not (especially for higher level positions). 

There are a few things that are not mentioned in your CV and even if you mention it, it will be clear when you speak out;  like your your personality, your attitude, your interpersonal skills, your leadership style, your managerial qualities, decision making skills, your achievements, etc,. 

So more than just your name, education and present position you should narrate those details which you are good at and how you match the position you are being interviewed for. In other words, this question also means "why should I hire you?". So answer accordingly.
