About Us
Tim Erickson is the Founder and Principal of TE Atlas, an advisory firm helping US companies navigate sourcing, supply chain, and automation decisions. Based in Saigon since May 2026, Tim works with US - headquartered manufacturers evaluating the Vietnam corridor — factory scouting, supplier diligence, automation strategy, and supply chain audits.
Earlier, Tim was a Global Supply Manager (CapEx) at Tesla, leading automation and equipment sourcing for battery module, pack, manufacturing test, and power electronics production lines — negotiating $20M+ in savings, managing $10M – $50M+ projects, and onboarding 100+ suppliers across Asia, Europe, and North America. He then took that buyer perspective to the supplier side as Business Development Lead at Kerrigan Robotics (industrial robotics software), opening commercial relationships with Fortune 100 high - tech manufacturers. He also co - founded Go Carpathian, a remote - talent firm placing engineering and operations talent from Eastern Europe, Latin America, and South Africa into US companies. A US citizen with a B.S. in Global Supply Chain & Operations Management, Tim relocated to Saigon to deepen his US - Vietnam manufacturing corridor expertise. He looks forward to contributing operational perspective and connecting AmCham members to the broader US trade and investment community.
