Key Management


Kelvin Tan (陈勉思) , Group Executive Chairman , Genesis-Global Group

Kelvin Tan, Group Executive Chairman of Genesis-Global Group, founded the company in Singapore in 2012 and has established it as a purveyor of exquisite gems and jewellery in the ultra-luxury sector of the gemstones and jewellery industry.

Before setting up Genesis-Global Group, Tan was Vice President and Head of Legal & Anti-Money Laundering of Prudential Assurance Company Singapore (Pte) Limited for three years. Prior to that, he also served as the Head of Legal for various prominent MNCs, including the Energy Market Company, Singapore Airlines Cargo and Aviva Ltd from 2001 to 2012.

Before that, Tan was a senior lawyer with various major law firms in Singapore for two years. During this time, he advised clients in the areas of public securities laws, corporate finance, cross-border mergers, joint ventures and acquisitions.

Tan’s career began in 1996 with judiciary appointments in Singapore as a Deputy Registrar of the Subordinate Courts and Referee of the Small Claims Tribunals. In 1997, he was appointed as a Magistrate and Coroner of the Republic of Singapore. He held these judicial appointments until 1998, when he was appointed as a Deputy Public Prosecutor in the Criminal Justice Division of the Attorney-General’s Chambers. In 1999, he was called to the Singapore Bar and later that year, began his private practice. Tan graduated from the University of Leeds in 1995 and was admitted as a Barrister-at-Law of Lincoln’s Inn in 1996.

As an avid collector of precious stones, Tan has built up a vast collection of precious gems over one and a half decades of collection, using money he had saved over the years. Due to the significantly lower prices of gemstones at the time when he began his collection, Tan has profited from the gains in valuation of his gemstones, and that prompted him to believe in the highly lucrative nature of gemstone investments, which became the cornerstone of his business as an Investment Jeweller.

Besides collecting gemstones, Tan’s other hobbies are painting landscapes, reading, swimming and of course, jewellery designing.
