Astronomer CEO Andy Byron is out at the tech company after he was spotted hugging his human resources chief at a Coldplay concert this week, as the viral moment continues buzzing across social media. Astronomer announced Byron was stepping down from his role in a statement Saturday, saying the company’s board accepted his resignation.
Tech firm Astronomer was the subject of memes and misinformation after a video allegedly of its CEO and HR chief at a Coldplay concert went viral.
Before being caught in the arms of married Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, the company’s HR chief, Kristin Cabot, boasted that she “wins trust” of CEOs. “An influential leader and fearless change agent, I lead by example and win trust with employees of all levels, from CEOs to managers to assistants,” she wrote via her LinkedIn bio.
According to a New York Times profile of the family, the Cabots have transcended generations, and were estimated at $200 million in 1972. That’s $15.4 billion in 2025.
