A Coldplay concert in Boston became the stage for a full-blown internet scandal when Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR executive Kristin Cabot were caught snuggling on the stadium's kiss cam.
The clip instantly set social media ablaze, not just for the pair's awkward “caught-on-camera” energy, but because Byron was married and Cabot’s romantic history was soon connected to another high-profile executive.
The fallout came fast. Both execs were placed on leave, Astronomer named cofounder Pete DeJoy as interim CEO, a formal investigation was launched, and the company has announced on LinkedIn that Byron has tendered his resignation from his post as chief executive.
