Tech CEO resigns after viral concert clip sparks scandal

The CEO of US tech firm Astronomer, married father Andy Byron, has resigned after a viral video showed him embracing a female colleague, Kristin Cabot, at a Coldplay concert in Massachusetts.

The clip, which captured the pair hugging and quickly ducking from the arena’s big screen, drew widespread attention and speculation.

Astronomer acknowledged the incident and stated that its leadership failed to meet “expected standards of conduct”.

The company has launched a leadership search, with the chief product officer serving as interim CEO.
