One World Products Appoints Two Forbes Power Women to Board as Company Transitions to Isiah Enterprises

One World Products, Inc., soon to be renamed Isiah Enterprises, has appointed Ambassador Ertharin Cousin to its Board of Directors, joining fellow Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women honoree Minyon Moore in a rare alignment of influential leadership focused on sustainability and inclusive growth. The dual appointments represent a significant strategic move as the company transitions its identity and expands its sustainable materials operations.

Isiah Thomas, Chairman and CEO of One World Products, emphasized the practical impact of these appointments. "These two extraordinary leaders bring proven judgment and real world execution," Thomas stated. "They have shaped policy, built coalitions, and delivered measurable results for people and communities. Their presence on our board underscores our commitment to integrity, innovation, and impact as we build Isiah Enterprises for long term value."

Ambassador Cousin brings more than four decades of global leadership across public, private, and social sectors, having served as Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme from 2012 to 2017 and as U.S. Ambassador to the UN Agencies for Food and Agriculture from 2009 to 2012. She previously served as Chief Operating Officer of Feeding America and later founded Food Systems for the Future to accelerate sustainable innovation in food equity. "This company reflects what the future of business should be," Cousin noted. "Sustainability, equity, and economic empowerment are not competing goals. I am honored to join Isiah Thomas and this board to help scale solutions that create value for people and for the planet."

Minyon Moore, who leads Dewey Square Group's State and Local Affairs and Multicultural Strategies practices, emphasized the substantive nature of having two Forbes power women on the same board. "Having two leaders who have been named to Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Women on the same board is not about symbolism. It is about substance," Moore said. "Ambassador Cousin and I share a belief in leadership that listens, collaborates, and acts with courage. Isiah Enterprises is charting that path." Moore's career includes service as Assistant to the President and Director of White House Political Affairs under President Bill Clinton and senior advisory roles in the Biden Harris Administration.

The company is broadening its focus to automotive sustainability, renewable materials, and circular economy manufacturing, currently serving automotive packaging markets while building a presence in food packaging. Recent operational milestones include the successful launch and scaling of a rubber compounds product line using existing equipment, with more than 100,000 pounds shipped to date. By leveraging its prime location within the nation's manufacturing corridor and deepening partnerships across automotive, packaging, and industrial markets, the company is advancing a growth model built on innovation, jobs, and measurable environmental impact across what it identifies as a $1 trillion global packaging industry.
