Mink is the president and co-founder of Data Science Connect, a tech startup specializing in digital media and large-scale data science events that connect a global network of data practitioners, executives and enthusiasts.

Prior to becoming a tech entrepreneur, Mink held a range of legal and executive roles at large companies and law firms, with a focus on innovation and data strategy. As in-house counsel, Mink served as the chief legal and risk management officer for one of the largest extended stay chains in the United States and was the founding director of the legal operations team at a Fortune 300 company, leading a team responsible for the financial, technological and data aspects of the Law Department, Government Relations Department, and Corporate Secretary’s Office.

These efforts led to the firm receiving the Georgia Legal Awards' inaugural "Most Innovative Law Firm" award.
