Astronomer's interim CEO Pete DeJoy said in an update that the startup had "received a level of media attention that few companies" ever encounter.
In July 2025, following a viral incident at a Coldplay concert involving Andy Byron, then the CEO of tech company Astronomer ( archived ), an alleged video statement made by his wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, began circulating widely on social media.
On July 15, during a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron appeared on the kiss cam, embracing Kristin Cabot, the company’s head of HR. It would have been a cute candid moment if not for the fact that the pair immediately tried their absolute best to hide from the camera.
Kristin Cabot, the now-on-leave HR executive at Astronomer, flashed a wide smile and hefty wedding rings alongside Privateer Rum owner Andrew Cabot and two young kids, according to a Facebook post.
After former CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot were caught embracing on Coldplay's kiss cam, the interim head of the company says the fallout isn't all bad.
