Days after Astronomer announced the resignation of its married chief executive, Andy Byron, who was seen in a viral video with the head of human resources, Kristin Cabot, at the band’s performance at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., the tech startup confirmed Thursday that Cabot is no longer employed with the company.
Pete DeJoy was announced as Astronomer's interim CEO on Saturday following a kiss cam scandal involving his former boss.
DeJoy was named Astronomer’s interim CEO after Byron was placed on leave following his alleged cheating scandal.
Kristin Cabot has reportedly resigned from her head of HR position at Astronomer in the wake of the Coldplay ‘cheating’ scandal. A representative for Astronomer told TMZ, "Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer -- she’s resigned." Kristin’s resignation came after her boss Andy Byron quit as Astronomer’s CEO on Saturday.
Pete DeJoy, the company’s cofounder, is taking over for former CEO Andy Byron as Astronomer looks into his alleged affair that was revealed by the Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert Wednesday night. DeJoy previously served as Astronomer’s Chief Product Officer, the company said.
Let’s face it: If now-former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot hadn’t been caught canoodling on camera at a Coldplay concert, it’s unlikely DeJoy would have wound up being named the new CEO, at the company he co-founded a decade ago.
