Early life and education
Praises Kusi was born in Ghana and raised in a multicultural environment that emphasized education, entrepreneurship, and community service. His upbringing was shaped by his family's involvement in healthcare; his father and stepfather were both medical professionals, which inspired his compassion for family and maternal wellness.
After moving to the United States, Kusi pursued studies in information technology and computer science within the Maricopa County Community College District in Arizona. His coursework focused on systems networking, cloud computing, and user experience design, areas that later influenced his career in technology and startup innovation.
During his academic journey, Kusi began exploring how technology could be applied to improve human experiences, particularly in areas like family mobility, healthcare access, and transportation safety.

Career
Before founding MUMZY, Kusi gained experience in information technology, customer service, and systems administration. His early roles involved network troubleshooting, desktop support, and technical assistance, giving him firsthand knowledge of how technology supports everyday human needs.
He also worked in the food service and startup sectors, developing a hands-on understanding of customer care, operational efficiency, and business leadership. These experiences helped shape his people-centered leadership approach, blending technology, empathy, and process design.
In 2024, Kusi began building small-scale technology projects and digital brands aimed at bridging innovation with real-life challenges. These early experiments laid the foundation for his future work with MUMZY and beyond.

Founding of MUMZY
Kusi founded MUMZY in early 2025 after a deeply personal experience as a new father. While balancing work responsibilities, he struggled to help his partner, Amivi Boko, attend medical appointments and errands safely with their newborn son.
Recognizing the lack of ridesharing options equipped with child safety seats or trained drivers for infant care, he envisioned a new kind of mobility company—one focused on **trust, empathy, and family safety**.
Under Kusi's leadership, MUMZY was incorporated as Mumzy LLC and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. The company launched later that year with the tagline "Built by parents, for parents," introducing a mobile app that allowed families to book rides with trained drivers certified in child safety and CPR.
The platform's features include family profiles, live tracking, emergency alerts, and AI-driven ride monitoring—making MUMZY one of the first ridesharing startups to fully integrate family safety protocols into its business model.[3]

Leadership and philosophy
As Chief Executive Officer, Kusi leads MUMZY's corporate strategy, innovation roadmap, and community partnerships. He shares executive leadership with Co-Chief Executive Officer Amivi Boko, who oversees operations and customer experience.
Kusi's leadership philosophy is rooted in empathy and service. He believes that "technology built with heart can solve the problems data alone cannot." In interviews, he has described MUMZY as "a love letter to parents everywhere who just need help getting through their day safely."[4]
Beyond business, Kusi advocates for tech inclusivity, entrepreneurship education, and family safety innovation across Arizona's technology ecosystem.

Other ventures
Kusi has also expressed interest in cloud computing, DevSecOps, and artificial intelligence infrastructure. Through his creative ventures—including his label Spiritual Vibes Inc.—he bridges technology with art and music, using storytelling to connect emotional experiences with digital creativity.
As an Afrobeat artist, Kusi has released music under his own name, often blending themes of love, introspection, and African heritage with modern production techniques.
