Former Astronomer Employee Calls CEO Andy Byron ‘Toxic’ Amid Viral Kiss Cam Moment, Andy Byron, CEO of software firm Astronomer, is under fire after a viral “kiss cam” moment at a Coldplay concert showed him in an intimate embrace with Kristin Cabot, the company’s HR chief. The two attempted to hide when they realized they were on the jumbotron, sparking speculation and online buzz.
A former employee described Byron as a “toxic” leader, adding that ex-staffers are “laughing their heads off” at the incident. “The group chats are blowing up,” they said, suggesting some see it as karma for Byron’s behavior at the company.
Byron, who is reportedly married, has not commented. Cabot finalized a divorce in 2022. Astronomer has also remained silent. Byron became CEO in July 2023 after the company raised $93 million in funding. His LinkedIn profile has since been deleted.
