A recent Coldplay concert in Foxborough became a viral sensation after a ‘kiss cam’ caught Andy Byron, then-CEO of technology company Astronomer, in a romantic moment with Kristin Cabot, the firm’s head of human resources. The surprise? Both Byron and Cabot were married to others.
The incident generated huge online interest, and it was widely covered by the media, as well as having professional repercussions. Astronomer announced Byron’s resignation shortly afterwards, saying: “Andrew Byron has resigned, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will start looking for our new Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy remains acting CEO.”
The firm further stated: “As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.”
Who is Andy Byron?
Byron, who is now Astronomer’s ex-CEO, is married to Megan Kerrigan, a teacher. The two have two children. Kristin Cabot, on the other hand, is married to Andrew Cabot, who runs Privateer Rum, a distillery based in Massachusetts. To date, none of the four have made public statements.
A Witty Comeback at Coldplay’s Madison Concert
Just a few days from the Foxborough disaster, fans of Coldplay in Madison, Wisconsin weren’t in the mood for such drama either. At the band’s subsequent concert, a woman in the audience displayed a funny sign that read: “He’s not my CEO,” with an arrow indicating the guy beside her.
