nnAstronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught on Coldplay’s ‘kiss cam’ at a July 17 Gillette Stadium concert embracing the company’s HR chief Kristin Cabot, sparking viral speculation about an affair. The incident occurred just months after Astronomer raised $93 million from major investors including Bain Capital and Salesforce. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin quipped ‘Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy’ as the pair scrambled to avoid the camera. Astronomer’s board has remained silent about the scandal despite multiple requests for comment. Former employees describe Byron as a ‘toxic’ boss, with one noting staffers are ‘laughing their ass off’ at his public embarrassment.
