Inside Asian Gaming

INSIDE ASIAN GAMING DECEMBER 2018 86 INDUSTRY PROFILE Oscar Guijarro: Could you tell us about your background – where you’re from and how your career began? Trevor Ross: I’m a Melbournian and lived and worked there all my life except for a short stint in Sydney and my previous four-and-a-half years in Macau. As a youngster I had a strong interest in electronics and after finishing school, I got an apprenticeship as an electrician with a fire protection company. Before finishing the apprenticeship, I had already moved off the tools to run projects and was involved in sales and tendering. From there I had a few roles, the last one being as an operations manager for fire protection services. It was from there that I moved to work for Aristocrat managing their in-house service team at Crown Melbourne. That was 20 years ago. Previously in Macau with Aristocrat when the heart of the industry was on the peninsula, Trevor Ross is back again as Regional Account Manager, Asia for SG Gaming. But despite the focus having shifted to Cotai, he says the industry itself hasn’t changed too much. By Oscar Guijarro Trevor Ross: Home away from home INSIDE ASIAN GAMING AUGUST 2018 86
