Dr. Amara Okonkwo
Executive Director
Former principal research scientist in autonomous systems. Founded BTMP after fifteen years watching brilliant interns leave the industry for want of a single advocate.
Who we are
The people who read your plan every quarter
A small permanent team, six track leads, and a community of 430 working technologists who give two hours a month. These are the people you will actually meet.
Leadership & track leads
Six people, one very long to-do list
Marcus Bell
Director of Curriculum
Staff engineer turned educator. Designs the six learning tracks and keeps them honest against what hiring teams actually screen for.
Nia Patterson
Head of Shipyards
Two exits, one honest failure. Runs the five-phase founder programme and the investor-readiness reviews.
Terrence Ade
Head of Pipelines
Spent a decade in technical recruiting at scale. Now builds the partner network mentees walk into.
Simone Clarke
Cybersecurity Lead
Incident responder and CTF coach. Teaches the blue-team track and runs the quarterly range exercise.
David Oyelaran
Robotics & Hardware Lead
Mechatronics engineer. Runs the lab, the hardware loan pool and the Industry 4.0 curriculum.
The mentor community
Where our 430 active mentors work
Mentors are working technologists, not full-time educators. That is the point — the advice is current because the person giving it is still in the arena.
