Astronomer confirmed Andy Byron’s leave and announced that co-founder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy is serving as interim CEO.
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has been placed on leave following a viral incident at a Coldplay concert that appeared to show an intimate relationship between him and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot.
The incident occurred when the venue’s “kiss cam” focused on them, and they were seen embracing before quickly ducking and covering their faces. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin even quipped, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
The video quickly gained traction online, leading to widespread speculation about an affair, as both Byron and Cabot are reportedly married. Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, who has since reportedly removed his surname from her social media profiles and deactivated her account.
