Person coming before (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

predecessor

(Other definitions for predecessor that I've seen before include "Forerunner" , "One replaced by another" , "One previously in job" , "Earlier job holder" , "Thing that has been replaced by another" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
