As co-founder and VP of Sales and Marketing at FloNetwork (the first email technology in the world, founded in 1995 and acquired by DoubleClick in 2001 for $80 million), she white papered the server/client platform and coupled the technology with account management services assisting brands in direct email as a lead generation, customer retention and revenue growth tool. After FloNetwork, Ms. Lux continued with her interests in marketing, technology and building businesses. In 1998, She took USATODAY.com to the #1 news site ranking, beating out CNN in less than 4 months with little to no budget.

In 2008, Ms. Lux founded a boutique consulting practice solving digital business challenges for a large array of companies with continued success in achieving aggressive growth. At Turner Broadcasting Systems (best known for its marquee property CNN), Mina was brought in to take TheFrisky.com from 560K unique visitors to 4.2 million within 18 months on little budget. The Frisky became one of Turner’s largest digital properties after only 9 months under Ms. Lux’s leadership. In addition, she achieved extraordinary revenue growth by working with and training the Turner Broadcasting Systems ad sales group.
