Captain of industry (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

czar

'captain of industry' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for czar that I've seen before include "Despot" , "Russian emperor" , "policy coordinator" , "Russian ruler (alt. but not rare spelling)" , "Pre-1917 Russian ruler" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the LA Times.
