About Carl Erickson

I like solving problems and questioning the status quo to innovate and create value. I believe strongly that work matters, that companies should be a force for good in their communities, and that everyone should have a job which provides fulfillment beyond a paycheck. Atomic Object has been my platform to develop these ideas and put them into practice. Atomic Object designs and develops custom web, mobile, and embedded software products. We serve clients across the US and around the world. From startups to Fortune 500 companies, Atomic Object crafts world-class software products for clients in diverse markets including automotive, healthcare, financial services, education, distribution, and entertainment.

Carl Erickson Work Experience Details
  • Atomic Object
    Founder, Retired
    Atomic Object Jan 2023 - Present
    Grand Rapids, Mi, Us
    Carl started Atomic Object in the summer of 2001 with his former student, Bill Bereza. Carl's work has shifted over the years as Atomic's needs demanded. From developer, to delivery lead, to agile evangelist, to finance, marketing and sales, to CEO -- the common theme has been company leadership. His final role of executive chairman allowed him to focus on what's going to get the company to its 100 year goal: governance, structure, employee ownership, memorializing Atomic's culture, and a strategy for purpose-driven growth.
