    SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 08, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMRK), a full-service precious metals trading company and an official distributor for all the major sovereign mints, has entered into a new three-year employment agreement with Thor Gjerdrum. As part of the agreement, Gjerdrum was promoted to the position of president, succeeding David Madge who was appointed to the new position of chief marketing officer.

    Gjerdrum has served as A-Mark’s EVP and COO since 2013, and as CFO from 2010 to 2013. Previously, Gjerdrum held a range of positions with two publicly traded telecommunications companies, including vice president of finance. Gjerdrum received a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from Santa Clara University.
    “We look forward to further benefiting from Thor’s proven financial and operational acumen, as well as deep understanding of our business and industry as our new president,” said company CEO, Greg Roberts. “These qualities will prove to be instrumental in helping us scale the company.”
    A-Mark also appointed David Madge to the new position of CMO. Madge will be responsible for expanding the company’s marketing platform across its various business units, as well as marketing the company’s expanding portfolio of value-added products.
    Prior to the position of CMO, Madge served as President of A-Mark since 2011. Previously, Madge held various positions with the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM), a Commercial Crown Corporation of the Government of Canada, since 1995, most recently serving as executive director of the Bullion and Refinery Business Services. Madge received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1983 and a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1987, each from the University of Waterloo (Ontario, Canada).
    “David is considered a pioneer in the custom coin business,” commented Roberts. “He established A-Mark’s value-added products segment a couple of years ago and has grown it to more than 40 products in the market today. As our new CMO, we believe David’s industry knowledge and thought leadership will help expand the A-Mark brand not only domestically but also internationally.”
