Raymond Kumapley, P.E.

Raymond Kumapley is the President and CEO of SE3, LLC, bringing over two decades of experience in the professional engineering industry. He has led local, state, and federally funded municipal and transportation projects, with expertise spanning project-level planning, design, and construction through to large-scale DOT and tollway corridor master planning. His experience includes corridor management of interstate systems across the Chicagoland region, as well as technical standards and manual reviews for multiple transportation agencies.

Ray is actively involved in professional organizations such as the American Council of Engineering Companies of Illinois (ACEC-IL), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), where he has served as both a member and committee chair. His passion for entrepreneurship was shaped early in life by his late father, a professor of geotechnical engineering and founder of a successful consulting firm. Watching his father balance academic leadership with building a thriving business inspired Ray’s own pursuit of business ownership. Today, he applies the values of resilience, adaptability, and dedication he learned from his father to lead SE3 with vision and purpose, and he is a proud graduate of the University of Science and Technology in Ghana, West Africa, and Purdue University.
