Jen Stokes

Director, Owner

I launched MINTY after catching the gold bug during the pandemic, following years as a serial entrepreneur. My mission is to create a business that prioritizes customer care and a vibrant, innovative team culture. I’m endlessly curious, creative, and committed to delivering the best experience possible. When I’m not working on MINTY, you’ll find me in the water, out in nature, or soaking up live music with my favourite people.
