Cloud architecture and AI governance consulting for enterprise transformation
GRAYOAK is a Frankfurt-based management and technology consultancy founded in 2022, focused on cloud strategy, AI, and governance. The tech stack is heavily Microsoft-aligned (Azure, Power Platform, Databricks, Azure AI) with supporting infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM) and web development tools (React, Next.js, TypeScript). The hiring mix is engineering-heavy with a senior skew—8 senior roles out of 10 engineering positions—suggesting delivery of complex infrastructure projects rather than building a product at scale. Active projects span landing-zone development, legacy-to-cloud migration, and generative AI governance, while documented pain points center on Azure scaling complexity, compliance automation, and prompt-injection risk in AI applications.
GRAYOAK advises mid-market and enterprise clients on cloud transformation, data strategy, and AI integration. The firm operates across five specializations: Data & AI, Governance/Risk/Compliance, Business Apps & Automation, and IT Strategy. Projects range from greenfield cloud architecture design (landing zones, network security) to post-merger integration and legacy system migration onto Azure. The team delivers end-to-end consulting—from strategy through implementation to team enablement—with a stated focus on making internal IT a value driver. Based in Frankfurt with 11–50 employees and hiring exclusively in Germany, the firm remains early-stage but operationally focused on complex, multi-month engagements.
