Gov. Pat Quinn Names Andrew Ross Illinois Chief Operation Officer

(Chicago, IL) – February 28, 2011. Today Governor Pat Quinn today named Andrew Ross as Illinois’ chief operating officer.

Ross, who for the last two years has served as a deputy chief of staff in the governor’s office, will lead efforts to promote continued job growth in Illinois.

He will manage efforts in the governor’s office and across state government to keep and attract new companies, encourage expansion of the green economy, and spur entrepreneurship and innovation across Illinois.

In his previous position, Ross worked on an incentive package to keep Navistar and 3,000 jobs in Illinois, aided implementation of the state’s $31 billion capital program and helped overhaul the regulation of the Illinois cemetery industry following the tragedy at Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip.
