High-flying individual (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

achiever

(Other definitions for achiever that I've seen before include "Successful person" , "high-flier" , "One who accomplishes or reaches goal" , "One who gets things done" , "I successfully conclude" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
