Tech CEO Caught with Company’s Head of HR on Coldplay Kiss Cam Resigns

A video of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot being caught on camera during a Coldplay concert’s “kiss cam” segment has gone viral, leading to Byron’s resignation and both being placed on leave. The incident, which captured Byron and Cabot seemingly cuddling and then ducking away from the camera, sparked rumors of an affair and led to an investigation by the company.

The married CEO who was filmed at a Coldplay concert in the US with his arms around his company’s HR head in a video that went viral has now resigned, the company Astronomer said on Saturday.

In a post on Linkedin, the software startup said: “Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.”It added: “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.”

The development comes after the firm said on Friday that Byron and the company’s HR head, Kristin Cabot, had been placed on leave, Axios reported. They had been caught canoodling on the Jumbotron camera at the Coldplay concert in Foxborough, MA which is south-west of Boston.

The incident took the internet by storm.
