Hey, everyone! I’m Jack Constantine, Bath Bomb Inventor (seriously!) and Chief Digital Officer at Lush. I’m hosting an AMA on December 15th at 5 PM GMT, so get your questions in now! Looking forward to it.

Jack Constantine, Chief Digital Officer and Product Inventor

Proof Photo

Hey, everyone! This is Jack Constantine, Product Inventor and Chief Digital Officer from Lush.

A bit about me… I was taught how to make bath bombs by my Mum, Mo Constantine. She invented them back in 1989, so that’s a pretty good education. I’ve done a bit of everything in the business, including designing gift packaging, filming one of our stunts outside European parliament (dropping tonnes of horse poo from a dumper truck to escalate the conversation around Animal Testing) right through to developing marketing campaigns to help celebrate #bathart.

You may have heard of our best-selling bath bomb, Intergalactic, that's one of the products I am most proud I invented and we sell up to 3.5 million a year. That's a lot of beautiful baths all over the world!

What inspires me...My children, innovation in tech and creative design.

As CDO of Lush, I take responsibility for how we navigate the digital landscape, ensuring we feel comfortable ethically as a business with the decisions we make online. We have a place online which celebrates everything which makes Lush a very special community over at https://weare.lush.com/,

We recently hit the news (and were trending on Reddit) when we decided to globally migrate from Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat & Tik Tok as a business.

Read more on our Anti-Social Media Policy here, https://weare.lush.com/lush-life/our-policies/lush-anti-social-media-policy/ and why this is much more than a PR Stunt here, https://weare.lush.com/lush-life/our-company/we-are-digital/.

Ask me anything! All are welcome always.

EDIT: Thanks for all of the questions you've submitted for the AMA so far, there are some really challenging and thought provoking points in here that I want to ensure we answer to the best of our ability, so I've invited a few friends from Lush Leadership along to the AMA to give you all the best answers you deserve. Please keep those questions coming!

Joining me in the AMA will be:

Who is considered the inventor of programming?

I just attended a workshop for some of our interns, they presented Ada Lovelace as the most influential figure (no others were mentioned) in programming/computer history. One of my coworkers thinks this was meant to be "woke" for the younger generation and while Lovelace is a big influence, she's not even top 5. What do you guys think?
