One World Products, Inc. (OTC: OWPC), soon to be renamed Isiah Enterprises, has appointed Ambassador Ertharin Cousin to its Board of Directors, joining recently appointed director Minyon Moore. This creates a rare alignment of two leaders who have both been named to Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Women list on a single corporate board at the intersection of sustainability, innovation, and inclusive growth.
Isiah Thomas, Chairman and CEO of One World Products, stated that both leaders bring proven judgment and real-world execution capabilities to the company. "These two extraordinary leaders have shaped policy, built coalitions, and delivered measurable results for people and communities," Thomas said. "Their presence on our board underscores our commitment to integrity, innovation, and impact as we build Isiah Enterprises for long-term value."
The company is currently executing in automotive packaging markets while expanding into food packaging, two sectors where its capabilities and partnerships can scale responsibly. Thomas emphasized that the company's approach combines sustainability with economic value creation across both sectors.
Ambassador Cousin brings more than four decades of global leadership across public, private, and social sectors. She served as Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme from 2012 to 2017, leading assistance for tens of millions of people worldwide. As U.S. Ambassador to the UN Agencies for Food and Agriculture from 2009 to 2012, she advanced U.S. priorities in food, nutrition, and agricultural development. 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," said Ambassador Cousin. "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, recognized as one of the nation's top strategic thinkers in political and corporate affairs, leads Dewey Square Group's State and Local Affairs and Multicultural Strategies practices, advising Fortune 100 companies and nonprofits. Her career includes service as Assistant to the President and Director of White House Political Affairs under President Bill Clinton, senior advisory roles in the Biden Harris Administration, and prior service as CEO of the Democratic National Committee.
"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."
The board appointments mark a defining step in One World Products' transition to Isiah Enterprises as the company broadens its focus to automotive sustainability, renewable materials, and circular economy manufacturing. 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.
