This article was originally published by The Epoch Times: Astronomer CEO Andy Byron Resigns After Viral Video of Him and HR Head on Concert Jumbotron

In an unexpected twist that could rival a plot from a corporate drama, Andy Byron has officially vacated his position as CEO of Astronomer, a New York-based data software company. This resignation, accepted by the board of directors on July 19, follows a viral video that showcased his rather unguarded moment with a company executive during a Coldplay concert.

Byron’s departure has led to the appointment of cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy as interim CEO, while a formal search for a permanent replacement is already underway. The board of directors emphasized their commitment to a culture of accountability, stating, “Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.”

The incident that triggered such a swift corporate shakeup occurred at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, where Byron and Astronomer’s Head of Human Resources, Kristin Cabot, were captured in a seemingly intimate embrace. This moment quickly garnered attention online, igniting speculation and commentary regarding the nature of their relationship. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin even quipped onstage, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” before expressing concern about the implications of his joke.

Adding to the intrigue, both Byron and Cabot were married at the time of the incident, leading to an internal investigation launched by Astronomer in response to the public’s reaction and the implications for leadership conduct within the firm. While online speculation swirled regarding an alleged affair, the company clarified that Byron had not issued any personal statement concerning the situation, dispelling inaccuracies circulating in the media. “Andy Byron has not put out any statement,” the company asserted, “Reports saying otherwise are all incorrect.”

Astronomer, which prides itself on being a pioneer in the DataOps sector, focuses on developing software that aids organizations in managing complex data workflows and deploying artificial intelligence solutions. Despite the tumultuous events of the past week, the company maintains that its core mission remains unchanged: “While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not. We’re continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems.”

As of now, Byron has not responded to inquiries regarding his resignation or the events surrounding the viral video. Curiously, both his and Cabot’s LinkedIn profiles appeared to be deactivated as of Friday, adding an additional layer of intrigue to the unfolding drama. Meanwhile, Gillette Stadium, where the concert took place, has a disclaimer in its privacy policy regarding the capturing and broadcasting of visitors’ images during public events, and Coldplay has yet to offer any formal comment on the matter.

Astronomer remains a privately held entity and has not communicated a timeline for appointing a permanent CEO.
