A day after being put on leave, the Astronomer CEO Andy Byron officially resigned from his position on Saturday, July 19, 2025 after his video with a HR Head Kristin Cabot went viral.
In the video, he was seen sharing an intimate moment with the company’s HR Head in a Kiss Cam segment during a Coldplay concert, despite being married.
