Up to date
Andy Byron — the CEO of Astronomer, who was caught on digicam at a Coldplay live performance cuddling his firm’s head of HR — has resigned.
Astronomer introduced the transfer in a Saturday morning press launch … saying the corporate is dedicated to sure values and expects its leaders to reside as much as its requirements of conduct and accountability.
The corporate provides, “Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.”
Storyful
Astronomer addresses the latest run of unhealthy press by saying they was often known as “a pioneer in the DataOps space” — and, they continue to be dedicated to getting the main target again on the corporate’s work as a substitute of personnel points.
As you understand … Byron was noticed on Coldplay’s {couples} cam at a live performance earlier this week with his arms wrapped round Kristin Cabot, Astronomer’s HR head.

TMZ obtained unique video from earlier than the notorious second … exhibiting the two sharing a kiss and getting shut because the music performed out.

The second went viral on-line and impressed a ton of parodies — together with many at sporting occasions — and, Astronomer introduced they had been launching an investigation into their conduct.
Unclear if the investigation continues to be shifting ahead and what — if any — penalties Cabot could face as effectively.
