Anthony Santarosa is an experienced operations and entrepreneurial leader with 12+ years steering specialty transportation and chemical logistics businesses, currently serving as President of DS Rose, Inc. and principal of a boutique WordPress consulting firm, blending heavy-industry operational rigor with hands-on web and systems development. He has built and sold logistics operations, led sustained revenue growth in hazardous materials transport, and developed internal IT systems to support complex, compliance-driven workflows.
