Advancing the Careers of Black Professionals
Who We Are
BYP Network was founded in 2016 by Kike Oniwinde Agoro to connect Black professionals and students globally, offering visibility, career opportunities, and business support. Inspired by the lack of Black representation beyond sports and entertainment, Kike created BYP to diversify talent pipelines and drive change.
Today, BYP Network has grown into a global movement, empowering Black professionals through career opportunities, mentorship, and industry connections. As a connector, BYP links members to jobs, mentors, events, and thought leadership while partnering with top organizations to drive workplace diversity and leadership growth. We measure our impact through meaningful connections, career progression, and skills development.

What We Do
Job Board & Recruitment
We help organisations diversify their talent pipelines by connecting them with high-quality candidates across various industries. Our recruitment services focus on sourcing top talent, including Black candidates, to support both recruitment and retention efforts.
Employer Branding
Our Employer Branding package includes events, webinars, and promotions to help organisations raise brand awareness, attract diverse talent, and showcase their commitment to inclusivity. Through tailored events, content hubs, and newsletters, we connect employers with the Black community, enhancing your employer value proposition and social capital.
Leadership/Careers Conferences
Our flagship Leadership Conference and Careers Fest bring together thousands of attendees and sponsor organisations for expert sessions, panel discussions, and networking. These events empower Black professionals, foster leadership, and help organisations build diverse teams while connecting employers with top talent.
Black Experience Course
Our Black Experience Course (BEC) is a 2 hour CPD-accredited online course that explores the unique challenges faced by minority groups in the workplace, using trainer-led videos, case studies, and questions. Upon completion, you'll receive a certificate to share, showcasing your commitment to inclusivity.

COVID-19 Fundraiser
BYP Network is a solution-focused brand. When we saw the plight our community faced, we were compelled to do what we could to help ease the suffering of our much-valued key workers. Partnering with an incredible, like-minded organisation such as Kwanda made perfect sense as our missions were well aligned.

Members Testimonials
Hey Kike, I just wanted to let you know I’ve got a great job offer from a connection I made at the conference with one of the stand holders. This would not have been possible without the conference!

If it wasn’t for BYP Network’s job board, I wouldn’t have applied and accepted my current position. So thank you for being such a great organisation.
