Caitie Ghelhausen Walsh – Owner and Founder of Caitie G Bags
Caitie Walsh is a serial entrepreneur and Indiana native with a lifelong passion for sports, style, and innovation. Her love for sports began at a young age, playing competitive golf for over 13 years before going on to compete at the Division I level at High Point University.
While at High Point, Caitie discovered her passion for entrepreneurship. As a freshman, she founded her first brand, Lock-It, which went on to launch in more than 3,000 Walmart stores nationwide.
In January 2024, Caitie launched her second brand, Caitie G, a line of elevated, event-compliant stadium bags featuring removable privacy wraps.
Inspired by her lifelong devotion as a Colts fan and conversations with women who felt uncomfortable carrying personal items in clear bags, Caitie created a solution that blends style, privacy, and stadium compliance.
Outside of work, Caitie enjoys long walks with her husband and golden retriever, relaxing on the lake with her family, and hitting the links.
