In his six years with Disney, Mr. Fink developed and produced live-action and animated motion pictures, including ''Beauty and The Beast'', ''Aladdin'', and ''The Lion King'', which was based on his idea, "Bambi in Africa".

That company was later sold to Microsoft. In early 1996, Fink joined AOL as Senior Vice-President and Chief Cr.

After leaving AOL in 1999, Fink founded eAgents.com, a daily email service that provided targeted news and entertainment to over five million Internet users each day. In September 2000, less than eight months after founding the company, with its initial product still in beta, eAgents was sold to American Greetings Interactive (AGI). Fink served as President of AGI until 2003, and Chairman until 2005. During his tenure, AG acquired its two largest competitors, BlueMountain.com and eGreetings.com, and transitioned from a free site to a fee based subscription service with over five million paying subscribers.
