"Ad Augusta Per Angusta" - To high places by narrow roads
Executive Leadership & Founding Story
Principes was born from a simple yet powerful mission: where the next generation of founders assemble with shared ambition, discipline, and proximity. Here is where exceptional outcomes become inevitable.
The Club's leadership reflects that mission - three young, like-minded entrepreneurs from different parts of the world came together, and are building an elite, durable founders' club.
John is a lifelong Chicagoan. With both parents active in the trading world, John was immersed in capital markets from childhood. By the time most students were discovering investing, he was already reading technical analysis literature, back-testing, and leveraging mentorship from the traders in his own home.
Maxym brings a diverse background bridging futures trading, private equity, real estate, and investment banking within M&A. Starting his trading journey at fifteen, he built his foundation through options strategies before transitioning into index futures.
Born and raised in the Netherlands, Nouri's involvement in the financial markets began at a very young age, growing from early curiosity into serious, structured work across multiple asset classes. Over the years, he developed a strong foundation in trading, market analysis, and the disciplined workflows that underpin successful decision making.
The Executive Table oversees all operations and serves as the public face of Principes Club, ensuring the highest standards of excellence and tradition.

Principes was initially created as a passion project - a way for John and Max to connect with traders around the world, compare strategies, and grow as operators. But by mid-2025, it became clear that something much bigger was emerging.
After dozens of international conversations with floor traders, fund operators, and institutional practitioners, the mission evolved. Principes was no longer just about markets - it was about building a next-generation founders' consortium.
A club of disciplined young men across trading, real estate, finance, and entrepreneurship who:
