In the world of modern entrepreneurship, few names spark as much intrigue and admiration as Nikolai Mozhenkov.
A polymath in business and a strategic powerhouse across multiple sectors, Mozhenkov is now recognized as one of the most influential business leaders in Europe, with an annual revenue stream reportedly exceeding hundreds of millions of euros.
His rise, however, is not only a story of personal ambition and global education, rather instead it’s deeply rooted in a legacy forged by his father, Vladimir Mozhenkov, one of Russia’s most legendary entrepreneurial minds.
Educated across eight countries from Russia and the United States to Indonesia and Switzerland, Nikolai blends Eastern introspection with Western precision, fusing philosophies that have shaped his sharp, globally attuned leadership style.
After earning his Ph.D. in Business Science, he began his career in 2008 at the Moscow branch of Piter Trust Investment Company. There, as a young director in one of Russia’s top financial firms on the Moscow Exchange, he gained hands-on experience in high-stakes trading and financial infrastructure.
The momentum built quickly. In 2010, he transitioned into the luxury automotive sector, heading Porsche Center Taganka — a showroom rooted in his father’s empire, where he oversaw one of the most prestigious dealership operations in the country. That experience refined his understanding of high-net-worth clientele and premium service delivery.
By 2015, Mozhenkov launched his own hedge fund, A&M Capital Investment. It became the financial cornerstone of his sprawling portfolio. Insider sources confirm that in recent years, a European investment firm proposed an offer of €283 million for 49% of A&M Capital — an offer he declined without hesitation, signaling his long-term vision and belief in independent control.
That vision continued to unfold with the creation of AM Crypto Private Fund in 2017, which today controls over €180 million in digital assets. His early move into crypto investments proved prescient, allowing him to build serious leverage in decentralized finance while many traditional investors lagged behind.
In 2019, Dr. Mozhenkov launched A&M Research, a cutting-edge IT and consulting firm focused on advanced technological solutions. From AI analytics to bespoke digital infrastructure, the company supports clients across sectors — often accelerating performance through custom-built tech.
His reach then expanded internationally. In 2021, he became a key partner in Premium Dubai, a luxury concierge service for the ultra-wealthy. Known for securing access to the inaccessible, from global art auctions to off-market real estate, Premium Dubai solidified Dr. Mozhenkov’s position as a go-to name among elite circles in the Middle East.
In 2022, he founded Mozhenkov Travel, which has quickly become one of Russia’s largest travel agencies. While others scaled back post-pandemic, Mozhenkov capitalized on pent-up demand and elevated expectations for bespoke travel services.
That same year, he also became a partner in Auto Conclave, a business specializing in high-margin car imports from China — strategically aligning with the rapid shift in global automotive supply chains.
2023 marked a particularly significant move: Mozhenkov became a partner at Sovcombank, one of Russia’s most powerful and profitable private banks. With a 34% average return on equity over a decade and a presence in over 1,000 cities, Sovcombank reflects the exact kind of institution that aligns with Nikolai’s aggressive yet calculated investment ethos.
His involvement with Sovcombank synergizes with his hedge fund’s growing partnership with institutions such as BCS-Broker.
In 2024, he joined ATON, further expanding his influence in investment banking and portfolio strategy. From finance to fintech, from travel to tech, Mozhenkov’s portfolio is diversified, deeply profitable, and relentlessly innovative.
A crucial layer to this ascent is the influence of his father, Vladimir Mozhenkov, the founder of AutoSpetsCenter Group, Audi Center Taganka, and Mozhenkov Progress Consulting. Vladimir is widely recognized as a titan of Russian business transformation.
Named Audi AG’s top CEO in Europe, Vladimir increased his enterprises’ market value by 115 times over 15 years and pioneered modern KPI-based business models across Russia. Known for turning novices into multimillion-euro producers, he trained over 30 executives who now lead major firms throughout Europe and Asia.
That legacy isn’t just admired by Nikolai — it is embedded in every aspect of his leadership. The two men share more than blood; they share a methodical, strategic approach to business, with measurable outcomes as the ultimate goal. The clarity and performance culture championed by Vladimir has been modernized and globalized by his son.
Nikolai’s flagship business network, Conclave Premium, is a living example of that ethos. Once an elite business club, under Nikolai’s presidency it has grown into an expansive ecosystem of more than 800 influential figures from business, politics, and academia.
Hosting over 100 exclusive events annually and organized around 15 critical sectors, Conclave Premium is now Russia’s most respected private business network — an arena where solutions are not only discussed but delivered.
This combination of intellectual rigor, global strategy, and operational excellence has made Mozhenkov one of the most formidable private investors in Europe.
His personal lifestyle mirrors his business values: early rising, structured days, and a commitment to physical and mental discipline. He abstains from alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine and continues to reduce sugar — habits he attributes to his consistent high performance.
His ventures span hedge funds, cryptocurrency, IT, luxury travel, and private banking — and yet, it’s his high-octane passion for the Gumball 3000 rally that has made him a standout figure even among celebrity circles.
Last year, Nikolay took to the road in his custom-tuned Audi RS6 Avant, roaring across countries and continents as part of the Gumball 3000, a legendary 3,000-mile rally known for blending supercar performance with exclusive nightlife, fashion, and cultural events.
The rally is a week-long rolling spectacle, attracting billionaires, A-list celebrities, global influencers, and motorsport enthusiasts alike. Mozhenkov has completed multiple Gumball runs, using the endurance-heavy and navigationally intense format to reflect the very attributes he relies on in business — focus, speed, and strategic adaptability.
The Gumball 3000 is far more than just an ultra-luxury race. It’s a moving cultural phenomenon. Participants drive through iconic cities — from London to Tokyo, from Dubai to Ibiza — with each evening culminating in invitation-only galas, red carpet affairs, and late-night celebrations hosted by luxury brands and fashion houses.
At these events, Dr. Mozhenkov has been spotted alongside global names such as David Hasselhoff, Lewis Hamilton, Tony Hawk, Deadmau5, Usher, and Eve, who frequently bring their own edge and star power to the rally.
With upcoming ventures in AI-driven marketing and plans for international expansion through Dubai, Monaco, and Mykonos, Mozhenkov shows no signs of slowing. If anything, the next chapter appears even more ambitious.
As markets across Europe and Asia watch closely, one thing is certain: Dr. Nikolai Mozhenkov is not just building companies — he is shaping a legacy, one that fuses generational wisdom with relentless innovation.
In a world searching for clarity, impact, and execution, he stands as proof that a disciplined mind, a strategic plan, and a father’s teachings can still forge something timeless — and wildly successful.
