Background

Alan M. Ross was born on July 29, 1951, in Edinburgh, Scotland. He is the son of William J. and Elsie M. Ross.

In 1998, Alan M. Ross founded Corporate Development Institute, serving such clients as R.S. Means Company, Airtouch Cellular, J. Smith Lanier Company, and Cox Transportation. He is a chief executive officer and president there.

Since 2006 Alan is a chief executive officer and president at Fellowship of Companies for Christ. He is a frequent speaker for such organizations as the National Association of Christian Financial Counselors and the Alliance Defense Fund.

His first book, "Beyond World Class," published in 2001, was written as a model for what and how a business leader can do, not only to increase financial value but also to bring a new perspective to valuing people. The principles of work and the results have been incredible. The book was a way to build a larger platform from which Alan might expand the message.

Alan's second book, "Unconditional Excellence: Bright Lights in Dark Places," published in 2002, came about as a result of a request from several client companies to create a development program for all employees, challenging them to live the "Beyond World Class" principles. The results were astonishing, so the book is another way to spread the message far and wide.
