Cory Kronheim is the Founder and CEO of SM Advisors, a values-first AI advisory and enablement firm dedicated to helping organizations unlock potential through strategic, responsible innovation.
Cory draws on over 15 years of experience in public accounting at Crowe, including 3+ as Partner, primarily within the audit and advisory functions for financial institutions. His experience and approach to client service combines a thorough understanding of risk, internal controls, and organizational processes with a forward-looking vision for AI-driven transformation.
During his tenure at Crowe, Cory led numerous audits of integrated financial statements and internal controls for small to mid-sized public and private companies. He spent over a decade working closely with C-suites and boards, translating audit insights into actionable growth strategies. Known for his ability to deliver constructive, candid feedback, Cory has consistently helped leadership teams build trust, enhance compliance, and align operational practices with long-term objectives.
In the final 18 months of his corporate career, Cory became a driving force behind AI enablement efforts, launching a grassroots transformation strategy that reached across all of Crowe’s business lines. He played a pivotal role in driving strategic relationships—most notably with OpenAI—and facilitated firm-wide cultural shifts to embrace AI as a tool for empowerment, not disruption. His enablement programs trained several hundred professionals, from entry-level auditors to executive leaders, helping them develop AI literacy, assess risk, and build governance frameworks for responsible adoption.
SM Advisors is the culmination of this journey. Built around an 8-phase AI enablement framework and rooted in values of trust, collaboration, and sustainable innovation, SM Advisors partners with organizations to bridge the gap between AI possibility and practical implementation. Cory‘s unique skillset—a blend of audit discipline, cultural intelligence, and AI fluency—positions him as a trusted advisor for organizations ready to reimagine how they lead in the age of intelligent systems.
