Andy Byron resigned as Astronomer's CEO following the Coldplay ‘kiss cam’ scandal, involving HR chief Kristin Cabo

Tech company Astronomer said its board launched an investigation after CEO Andy Byron was seen embracing a coworker at a Coldplay concert.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has resigned after being seen embracing an employee on large video screens during a Coldplay concert.

Andy Byron, who has found himself at the center of a social media firestorm over a Coldplay concert video, was the CEO of a tech company named Astronomer. On July 19, the company announced that Byron has resigned in the wake of the scandal.

A tech company whose boss was filmed hugging a colleague at a Coldplay concert has said a purported statement from him expressing remorse is fake.

Coldplay wants no further involvement in the Astronomer CEO/HR boss saga after accitendally outing the cheaters.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has resigned days after a video showing a couple ducking away from the kiss cam at a recent Coldplay concert in Massachusetts went viral. The pair appeared so caught off guard in the clip that Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin dropped a zinger that immediately sent internet sleuths to work.
