US EditionColdplay Kiss Cam Cuddle Is a Lesson in Karma
CINCINNATI, JUL 18 – The CEO’s public display with the HR chief at a concert led to employee backlash over his leadership, with Astronomer having raised $93 million earlier this year.
- During a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium on July 16, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught on the 'kiss cam' embracing HR chief Kristin Cabot.
- Public records show Byron's marriage to Megan Kerrigan Byron and Kristin Cabot's divorce from Kenneth Thornby in 2022, fueling rumors amid the viral video.
- Multiple former staff members said Byron would lash out against employees who disagreed, including threatening to fire them, with the same source reporting his leadership as `sales-obsessed` and `toxic`.
- Public fallout continues to escalate, as a former colleague said text groups are 'laughing and enjoying the hell out of what happened and him getting exposed'.
- Despite raising $93 million in May, Astronomer has not issued an official statement, and having faced ongoing scrutiny, the company remains silent.
