Board of Directors

Mr. Torgny Persson

As the founder of BullionStar, Torgny is an avid advocate of precious metals as money. Having been passionate about the monetary system since young age, Torgny choose to study Economics at University but realised that economic models failed to consider monetary mechanics.

In the midst of the global financial crisis, Torgny intended to purchase Investment Precious Metals in his native country of Sweden as long term protection against inflation and geopolitical instability. He discovered that options were lacking and established the Swedish bullion dealer Liberty Silver in 2008 where he still serves as the Chairman of the Board.

Following the Singaporean government's exemption of Investment Precious Metals from GST in 2012, Torgny established BullionStar. BullionStar seeks to introduce modern technology into the age-old industry of precious metals combining online customer control with accessibility.

Mr. Luke Chua

Luke was appointed as CEO in March 2021, after having served as COO since February 2015. Luke leads the team of passionate people at BullionStar and strives to bring out the best within each individual in his team to ensure that BullionStar continues to be one of the best companies to work for.

Luke's focus is to capture new opportunities through innovation, technology and strategic relationships. With a hands-on approach, he is always looking to optimize BullionStar's operations to cater to the exponential demand that is coming.

Luke’s vision is to make precious metals incredibly accessible and available at great prices to everyone all over the world and to uphold BullionStar's commitment in offering a first-class customer experience for its clients. As an avid believer in precious metals as a store of value, Luke had been stacking precious metals personally prior to joining BullionStar, while he was working in management consulting.
