Coldplay’s concert in Boston turned unexpectedly dramatic when a seemingly innocent kiss cam moment unveiled what social media now believes is a major office affair. Andy Byron, CEO of the tech company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the firm’s head of human resources, were caught on camera looking a bit too cozy. The clip, which quickly went viral online, showed the two seated close together and appearing shocked when frontman Chris Martin called them out with a playful “Oh, look at these two!” on the stadium’s big screen.
Who Are Andy Byron And Kristin Cabot?
Andy Byron has been CEO of Astronomer for over two years, according to his LinkedIn profile. The Cincinnati-based company develops Astro, a widely used data orchestration platform powered by Apache Airflow. Valued at over $1.3 billion, Astronomer is a major player in the data and AI tech space.
Before leading Astronomer, Byron held high-ranking positions at several other firms, including Lacework, Cybereason, and Fuze. He’s known in the tech world for his expertise in cloud security and enterprise software, with a resume that includes stints at BMC Software and BladeLogic. He’s a graduate of Providence College.
Kristin Cabot, also listed as a top executive at Astronomer, heads the company’s HR division. As of now, neither Byron nor Cabot has made any public comment regarding the video or the rumors surrounding it.
What seemed like a lighthearted fan interaction during Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour has now turned into a full-blown internet controversy. Viewers were quick to point out that Byron and Cabot are not married to each other, sparking intense speculation about an extramarital affair. Byron’s stunned reaction, caught on camera as he mouthed what many believe was an expletive only fueled further suspicion.
While it’s unclear what the fallout from this viral moment will be inside Astronomer, the internet is already weighing in. The clip, now widely circulated, has become a trending topic not just because of the Coldplay cameo, but because it may have unintentionally revealed a scandal inside a billion-dollar tech company.
