Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR director Kristin Cabot were forced to quit after being caught cuddling on a ‘kiss cam’ at a Coldplay concert, despite having families of their own.

On the evening of July 18, Astronomer confirmed that Bryon had been suspended from his position immediately following the scandal. “Co-founder and chief product officer Pete Dejoy is now serving as interim CEO as Andy Byron has been temporarily laid off. We will share more details as appropriate in the coming days,” a company representative told Page Six.

Byron and Cabot’s display of affection previously attracted global media attention because the 50-year-old CEO is said to be married with two children. His wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, deleted her husband’s last name and closed her social media accounts after seeing a video of him and Cabot getting intimate at a concert.

As for Cabot, she is divorced. Massachusetts court records obtained by the NY Post show that she separated from her ex-husband, Kenneth Thornby, in 2018 and their marriage officially ended in 2022.

Astronomer also said it has launched an investigation into the incident. “Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard for both conduct and accountability. The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have more details to share soon,” the company said on LinkedIn.

The New York-based tech company also addressed some of the false rumors, stating that the woman standing next to Byron and Cabot in the concert audience was not the company’s VP of HR.

“Alyssa Stoddard was not present at the event and no other company employees were in the video. Andy Byron has not made any statements, and reports that suggest otherwise are inaccurate,” the representative said.

Like Byron, Cabot has not commented on the incident and both have deactivated all of their social media accounts.
