Essential person (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kingpin

(Other definitions for kingpin that I've seen before include "25' [TOP BANANA]" , "Crucial person in organisation" , "Essential person in organisation" , "See the most important person" , "Most important member of organisation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
