Urvasi Chetty

I am an accomplished healthcare leader, management consultant, and executive coach with over 14 years of experience driving strategic transformation across healthcare, education, and organisational development. As the Founder and Managing Director of AUM Consulting, I provide expert advisory services in management consulting, executive coaching, practice accreditation, healthcare operations, leadership development, and workforce wellness. My portfolio includes consulting and leadership engagements across South Africa, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and global virtual clients.

With a strong clinical foundation as a clinical specialist - physiotherapist and extensive experience as a healthcare manager and executive, I have led high-impact operational and strategic initiatives, strengthened organisational performance, and improved patient-centred service delivery. I am recognised for my ability to align people, processes, and systems; mentor emerging leaders; and implement frameworks that enhance quality, efficiency, and organisational resilience.

I am currently completing my Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) through the Swiss School of Management, focusing on “The Impact of Digital Transformation on Healthcare Operations in South Africa: Leveraging Health Information Systems for Lean Management Efficiency.” My academic and professional work reflects a deep commitment to leveraging digital innovation, systems thinking, and multi-sector collaboration to improve health outcomes.

I am regularly headhunted for senior roles requiring visionary leadership, operational excellence, strategic communication, and transformative change — including positions such as CEO, Director of People & Culture, Head of Operations, and senior advisory roles in global organisations.
