[Charlestown, Mass. — Dec. 18] — Pickle Robot Company, a pioneer in Physical AI for supply chain applications and the leader in automated truck unloading, today announced that Jeff Evanson has joined the company as Chief Financial Officer, bringing deep experience in capital markets, corporate strategy, and scaling high-growth technology companies. Evanson’s appointment comes as Pickle Robot enters a new phase of growth.

Evanson is best known for his seven-year tenure at Tesla, where he served as Vice President of Global Investor Relations & Strategy reporting directly to Elon Musk during one of the most consequential periods in the company’s history. At Tesla, he helped raise substantial equity and debt financing to support the launches of the Model S, Model X, and Model 3, and played a central role in securing shareholder approval for Tesla’s acquisition of SolarCity—advancing the company’s evolution into an integrated energy business.

Following Tesla, Evanson led Investor Relations and Corporate Development at Symbotic, helping shape the company’s growth narrative as it emerged as a major force in warehouse automation. His earlier background includes investment banking, equity research, and public accounting, giving him a comprehensive, end-to-end view of how innovative companies scale sustainably.

“Jeff joins Pickle at an inflection point for our business,” said AJ Meyer, Founder and CEO of Pickle Robot Company. “We’re moving quickly from early deployments to scaled adoption, and Jeff brings exactly the kind of experience we need to navigate this next chapter with discipline and ambition. He’s advised many companies at this stage and I consider us very lucky to be bringing Jeff on board as we focus on high growth—he sees the potential in Pickle and has chosen to roll up his sleeves with us. That speaks volumes.”

As CFO, Evanson will lead Pickle Robot’s financial strategy, supporting disciplined growth, operational scaling, and long-term value creation as the company expands deployments with existing customers and prepares for additional commercial milestones.

“I’m excited to join Pickle Robot at such a pivotal moment,” said Evanson. “The team has built compelling Physical AI technology that is solving a real, persistent problem in logistics at a speed that is impressive. I see significant opportunity ahead, and I’m looking forward to helping the company scale thoughtfully while maintaining the speed and innovation that have defined it so far.”

Pickle Robot Company’s first physical AI solution, automated truck-unloading, is designed to increase throughput, reduce labor strain, and improve safety in distribution centers—addressing one of the most challenging bottlenecks in modern logistics.
