**A viral video of two tech executives at a concert sparks scandal and swift departures.**
In a surprising turn of events, Kristin Cabot, the chief people officer of data analytics company Astronomer, has resigned after a viral incident at a Coldplay concert captured millions of views online. Astronomer confirmed her departure in a statement, emphasizing that the resignation comes on the heels of former CEO Andy Byron also stepping down last week in the midst of an ongoing investigation into undisclosed allegations.
The viral moment occurred when a video showcasing Cabot and Byron embracing on a jumbotron at the concert went viral, causing a social media frenzy that led to widespread speculation about their relationship. As the couple attempted to conceal themselves from the camera, Coldplay's lead singer, Chris Martin, humorously remarked, "Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy," adding to the public's intrigue.
As the internet erupted with memes and comedic commentary surrounding the incident, Astronomer initiated an investigation, although it did not detail specifics linked to the viral footage. The following day, Byron's resignation was announced, transitioning the company’s leadership to co-founder Pete DeJoy, who has been appointed as the interim CEO.
DeJoy highlighted the unprecedented media attention the company has received, noting that it transformed Astronomer into a "household name" almost instantaneously. The firm, which specializes in data-driven solutions and artificial intelligence, remains committed to its mission of innovation despite the recent controversies.
