Remember the kiss-cam moment that went viral showing Astronomer’s CEO Andy Byron and HR exec Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay concert getting cozy? Well, the fallout’s in: both have now stepped down from their roles.
The company said in a tweet that their leadership didn’t live up to the expected standards and announced Byron’s resignation, with Pete DeJoy acting as temporary CEO while searching for a replacement. Cabot also left, though no official reason was stated.
@instaagraace trouble in paradise?? 👀 #coldplay #boston #coldplayconcert #kisscam #fyp
People wondered if Byron could sue Coldplay, but lawyers say no way since this happened in public and privacy can’t be claimed at concerts. The whole thing stirred quite the drama, but Astronomer promises it’s business as usual going forward.
