Andrew R. Email & Phone Number

Andrew R. is a Managing Director at Centek Limited at Centek Group. Colleagues describe them as " Andrew Ross is a very proactive, energetic, experienced leader as I had the pleasure to work for him 3 years at SPX Cooling Technologies as well as 2 years at Colt Ventilation. Due to the time he spent in Asia, North America, and Europe, he is able to quickly recognize challenges faced by Business Units on a local level, prioritize, and put the necessary action plans in place. "Operations" is one of his strengths given the keen attention to detail when conducting Quarterly reviews with the Operations/Project Management teams. He is very effective in communicating strategic goals across all Business Units and has the unique ability to support and motivate his direct reports in achieving corporate objectives and financial targets. Regardless of what challenges I faced with my business, he always took time to "listen" and worked closely with me to identify a sound solution. When necessary, he went beyond the call of duty and supported junior level staff whether it involved a specific project, technical issue , or career plan. It was apparent to many that he cared about the business, his staff, and always kept a very balanced approach in his decisions. I was very grateful to have worked for Andrew twice as he brought out the best in my abilities as a Manager." and "It has been a delight working with Andrew Ross. Even though it was for only a few months, I traveled with him extensively with him across Asia, meeting most of those who reported to him as well as most of the major agents and customers he was managing. He is the closest to an “international citizen” that I have ever met, with long experience living and working in Asia, Europe, and North America. He understands as well as anyone I have ever met the different business cultures - how business is won and lost and how projects must be managed – across the diverse environments in which he has worked. His knowledge and supportive management style engenders intense loyalty among those reporting to him, even when all are dealing with hard times. The customers view him as one who empowers himself to solve their problems, through his knowledge of construction issues and the relationships he develops easily inside his own company. Andrew is a very unusual managing director, bringing both years of practical knowledge of implementation and experience in project sales and marketing. So, in summary, he develops a team with true loyalty, understands how to sell, and delights the customers by prioritizing and solving their issues."
