In brief
In a surprising turn of events, Kristin Cabot, the Chief People Officer at Astronomer, has resigned following a viral video that captured her and the company's CEO in an intimate moment at a Coldplay concert. The resignation comes on the heels of former CEO Andy Byron's departure, who was placed on leave pending an investigation.
The incident sparked significant media attention when the pair was seen embracing on a big screen during the concert, leading Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin to humorously speculate about their actions. The video quickly went viral, and with the internet in a frenzy, memes and jokes emerged across social platforms. In response, Astronomer has initiated an internal investigation while reaffirming its commitment to moving forward under new leadership, now helmed by co-founder Pete DeJoy.
