Andy Byron, the now-former CEO of tech company Astronomer, has officially stepped down following a scandalous moment caught on camera at a Coldplay concert—one that sent shockwaves through both the company and social media.
In a video that quickly went viral, Byron was seen with his arms around the company's Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, during the concert. The couple was projected on the venue's kiss cam, prompting Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to joke, 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' Byron, who is married with children, appeared startled and ducked to avoid further attention. The moment, captured by a concertgoer, set off a storm of scrutiny.
