As the founder of 6PM Holdings plc and now CEO of BITS Ltd, Ivan's journey from agile coach to healthcare tech innovator and ultimately published author is a testament to one man’s belief that "Agility is applied common sense."

Over the course of his career, which began in 1986 and accelerated with his pioneering work in Agile methodology from 1996 onward, Ivan has touched thousands of lives. He introduced Agile principles to global corporations across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Scandinavia, acting not just as a trainer but as a catalyst for Ivan Bartolo is not just a business leader, he is a movement-maker, a transformational force in enterprise innovation, and a lifelong practitioner of personal growth through conscious habit.

Over the course of his career, which began in 1986 and accelerated with his pioneering work in Agile methodology from 1996 onward, Ivan has touched thousands of lives. He introduced Agile principles to global corporations across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Scandinavia, acting not just as a trainer but as a catalyst for sustainable change. These transformative experiences would eventually sow the seeds for his acclaimed book, The Mirror Never Lies, a raw, honest call to individuals and leaders to reclaim their personal power through habit, reflection, and intentional action.

In 2001, Ivan founded 6PM Holdings plc in Malta, a bold startup that would soon disrupt the UK’s healthcare IT sector. Under his leadership, the company grew to employ over 200 people, delivered innovative software solutions to more than 200 NHS hospitals, and scaled to over £13 million in annual revenue. His ability to navigate through global recessions, restructure business models, and lead through vision earned him several prestigious awards, including the European Business Award for Innovation and BOV’s Top Entrepreneur of the Year.

In recognition of his significant contributions to both the IT and healthcare sectors, Ivan was awarded an Honoris Causa doctorate by Middlesex University in the UK.

Today, through his consultancy BITS Ltd, Ivan mentors’ startups, serves as a non-executive director across multiple boards, and continues to inspire leaders through keynote speeches and workshops. His mission remains steadfast: to empower people and businesses to thrive, intentionally, habitually, and with impact.

Ivan has practiced what he now teaches for over 40 years: the Thriveon Habit. A cornerstone of his life and philosophy, this habit is not just a routine, it is a way of being. His platform www.thriveon.vip is the next step in his vision: a digital sanctuary and resource hub for those committed to personal mastery, growth, and leadership excellence.

For those seeking real change, Ivan Bartolo is the rare kind of leader who does not just tell you where to go, he walks the path beside you.

The Story Behind “The Mirror Never Lies”: Why I Wrote This Book

I am a firm believer that in this world, nothing is more valuable than life itself. The worth of any person is beyond measure, and yet, too often, we live as though our own growth and fulfillment are secondary to the many obligations life throws our way.

For most people, life follows a similar path. We go through education, we work to earn a living, we navigate relationships, whether with colleague Read more of this blog post »
