Christi Chatmas, Co-founder & Chief Executive OfficerChristi Chatmas is the Co-founder & CEO of Caddie Central, an Austin-based provider of caddie services and tournament services to private, daily fee and resort golfing facilities in the US. Christi and her husband, John, founded the company in 2005.
Christi began her career in 1992 at Smith Barney after graduating with a B.S. in Marketing and Psychology. She worked in the Institutional Fixed Income Trading & Underwriting Department at Smith Barney in Dallas, Texas for five years, where she was responsible for more than 20 of the firm’s largest bank clients. Her success at Smith Barney led to a move to Southwest Securities in 1997, where she acted as Liaison for all the Fixed Income operations. After achieving many of her career goals, Christi decided to take some time away from work to start a family in 2000. Christi and her husband, John Chatmas, have three children. They live in west Austin, where they settled in 2001. When not devoting her time and energies to Caddie Central, Christi is an active member of The Entrepreneurs' Organization and an active volunteer for a number of local charities in the Austin Area. Her time spent helping the less fortunate has led to some of her most rewarding moments, and charity is likely where she will choose to invest her time once she retires from the working world. In addition, Christi is an avid golfer and tennis player and enjoys spending time with her family, especially outdoors in the beautiful Austin hill country! "The golf course is a good place of influence for young kids, and I see opportunities to help caddies grow into adults with strong values, work ethics and emotional intelligence." |
