Resilience over bureaucracy.
I support companies in managing and reporting ESG and sustainability, implementing risk management and due diligence requirements, and optimising their data and processes.
Whether you need subject-matter expertise, strategic sparring or hands-on support – maehnenwolf stands for pragmatic solutions with minimal complexity.
My approach
Companies are facing ever-increasing regulatory requirements, growing data complexity, and rising political and economic uncertainty. In this environment, the ability to make well-founded, robust and timely decisions is critical.
In practice, however, there is often a missing link between these areas: information is available but not structured in a way that supports decision-making or reporting. Responsibilities are unclear, and processes do not align.
Drawing on my industry and consulting experience, I help you structure complexity, establish clear decision-making foundations and implement regulatory standards in a way that is practical and manageable for your organisation – with minimal internal effort.
I work at the intersection of corporate sustainability, risk management, process and data management – not as separate silos but as an integrated, efficient system. My focus is on execution: I translate regulatory complexity into pragmatic, usable content and processes that can be directly applied in reporting and management.
Where required, I also take on operational delivery – from ESG reports and compliance policies to operating model design and strategic decision-making frameworks.
By working independently, I minimise coordination overheads. My deliverables are robust, practical and readily understood by executive management, supervisory boards and auditors.
In doing so, I create structures that remain robust as requirements increase, enable clear decision-making, and support consistent and reliable reporting.
3 key benefits for your organisation
1) Less coordination,
more delivery
I independently structure complex requirements and inputs, translating them into immediately usable outputs for reporting, organisational design and decision-making. This removes a significant portion of internal coordination and implementation effort.
2) Minimal bureaucracy,
maximum pragmatism
Particularly in regulatory contexts, I develop practical solutions that avoid unnecessary complexity. In many cases, targeted refinement of existing materials or a lean extension is sufficient to make an issue manageable.
3) High acceptance
among decision-makers
I design solutions from the outset with executive management, board members and auditors in mind. This ensures outcomes that are not only convincing, but also practical to implement and actively supported within the organisation.

About me – who is behind maehnenwolf?
I am Maximilian Cojocea, and I founded maehnenwolf business consulting in 2024 to support companies in maintaining their competitiveness and resilience over the long term, even in increasingly volatile economic and regulatory environments.
What shaped me most in this respect were my studies in business administration in the United Kingdom and Sweden, with a focus on sustainable corporate development – at the time a unique programme in Europe.
I began my professional career in Vienna at a partner-owned management consultancy, where I developed my advisory skillset across strategic and operational projects. This included international reorganisations, complex procurement processes in the banking sector, and the development and digital transformation of organisations and processes.
In 2021, I moved into an industry role, where I was responsible for establishing and leading the group-wide sustainability management and ESG reporting at a company listed on the Austrian ATX. In parallel, I led projects in risk management, compliance, digital transformation and data management.
At maehnenwolf, I now bring together both perspectives – the structured, analytical approach of consulting and the resource-conscious delivery accountability of an industry role. This combination results in practical solutions that meet regulatory and operational requirements while being effectively embedded within organisations.
And like my South American namesake – the maned wolf – I work independently, adaptively and with a sharp focus on what truly matters: creating, with minimal overhead, structures and content that provide clarity, enable sound decision-making and keep organisations on track in an ever-changing environment.
