GREENVILLE, South Carolina — Isomer Project Group’s Managing Partner, RL Simpson, has been recognized on the 2024 Palmetto Power List, an annual distinction honoring 20 leaders and innovators shaping South Carolina’s economy.

The Palmetto Power List, curated by SC Biz News, highlights individuals who are driving growth and transformation across the state’s industries. RL’s inclusion on this list reflects not only his leadership in industrial project execution but also his commitment to redefining how engineering firms operate—putting people first, embracing emerging technologies, and ensuring that projects deliver real, lasting value.

Since founding Isomer in 2020, RL has helped build a firm that challenges traditional models of industrial project execution. Under his leadership, Isomer has successfully managed over $3 billion in industrial projects, from first-of-a-kind bioeconomy facilities to critical infrastructure in legacy industries like pulp and paper. His vision has helped position South Carolina as a leader in both advanced manufacturing and sustainable industrial development.

“We built Isomer because we believed there was a better way to execute projects—one that values people, efficiency, and innovation,” said RL. “Being recognized alongside other leaders who are making an impact in South Carolina is an honor, but more importantly, it’s a testament to the incredible team we’ve built here at Isomer.”
