39-year-old black entrepreneur makes history, awarded $13.4 billion defense contract

Meets Isaac Barnes The young founder and president of Eminent Future, whose Black-owned technology company has been awarded a $13.4 billion defense contract with the US Air Force and US Space Forces.

Isaac is a marvel, reminiscent of the young black leaders who transcended generations of relevant and elegant individuals who made such an extraordinary mark in history.

Raised from Grand Rapids, Michigan and growing up underprivileged but determined, the saga of Isaac is recognizable, with an uncommon progression. After leaving college, he served piously with the United States Marine Corps, where he thrived as a software engineer and data analyst supporting the Marine Corps commander. Isaac then went on to work with the Secretary of Defense to produce federal websites and digital products that provided millions of dollars for the Defense Department.

Isaac has received many awards and honors for his innovations. His passion for technology and being a servant to the people has led him to serve with influence in both the Obama and Trump administrations. His team led the 2017 presidential records transition effort for President Obama.

Despite his apparent success and still seeking service need through leadership, Isaac became the first black millionaire president of a federal digital products and innovation company, the preeminent company of the future. He served as President of Eminent Future, and was of paramount importance in securing a defense contract worth over $13.4 billion while positioning the company to be one of the fastest growing companies in Arlington, Virginia.

Isaac says emphatically, “The biggest problem we have in America is that we don’t work together as one. We are not together.” Isaac combines leadership, entrepreneurship, technology, and spirituality to design opportunities for growth within and between organizations and inclusive communities to generate and instill that cohesive unity in America.

On the heels of his remarkable accomplishments, Isaac, with his business partner Jose Rizzi, jointly created two cryptocurrencies, xMooney, and The Stealth Project. xMooney encourages miners to reduce their carbon footprint while ensuring a more stable and secure blockchain.

Now, Isaac is using his platform and resources to give back. He is a strong advocate for diversity in technology and is bridging the technology black gap. His story inspires anyone who wants to make a difference in the world. He believes that cryptocurrency and Web3 are the future, and he is creating pathways for more black and white people to join the movement.
