Astronomer HR chief bragged she ‘wins trust of CEOs’ before cuddling married boss at Coldplay show

Before being caught in the arms of married Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, the company’s HR chief, Kristin Cabot, boasted that she “wins trust” of CEOs.

“An influential leader and fearless change agent, I lead by example and win trust with employees of all levels, from CEOs to managers to assistants,” she wrote via her LinkedIn bio.

The company’s official “Chief People Officer” also hyped herself as “a passionate People leader known for building award-winning cultures from the ground up for fast-growing startups and multi-national corporations” and wrote that she prides herself in “creating innovative systems and processes that attract top talent, while aligning an organization’s people around its and values.”

Cabot — who has been with Astronomer since November 2024 — was spotted packing on the PDA with her boss in the middle of a Coldplay concert in Boston Wednesday.

As the duo realized they were being featured on the “kiss cam,” they rushed to hide their mortified faces — with Byron even ducking down to avoid the camera’s lens.

“Whoa, look at these two,” Martin, 48, said in now-viral footage, as Cabot covered her face and turned away. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.” 

Astronomer did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

As the video became the talking point at water coolers around the country, Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, fielded a deluge of comments about the alleged cheating reveal on her personal Facebook page — which Page Six later confirmed had been deleted after she dropped her married surname from the account.

Meanwhile, a resurfaced report painted Andy as an allegedly fearsome employer.

“Multiple former employees said Mr. Byron would lash out against employees who disagreed with him, including threatening to fire them,” read an exposé about the tech company Cybereason, where Byron worked for two years starting in 2017.

The allegation, which was published in business and tech outlet the Information, included a former employee’s claim that “you couldn’t challenge him.”

Another eyebrow-raising tidbit revealed that the CEO gushed over Cabot’s capabilities in a press release from Astronomer upon her hiring. “Kristin’s exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory,” he wrote in the release.

“She is a proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer,” he added.

As for Martin, 48 — who was simply playing a show in Boston when the drama unfolded — he seemingly addressed the matter while still onstage.

“I hope we didn’t do something bad,” the “Sky Full of Stars” singer said in a clip from the concert shared via X Thursday.
