HR chief Kristin Cabot resigns from Astronomer on heels of Coldplay kiss cam scandal

Astronomer HR chief Kristin Cabot has resigned following her cheating scandal with the company’s CEO, Andy Byron.
“Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer — she’s resigned,” a spokesperson for the company told TMZ Thursday.
Her resignation comes days after AI and data-based company announced it was launching a formal investigation into the scandal and placed Cabot and Byron on leave.
“Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,” the company wrote via LinkedIn July 18.
“The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.”
On July 16, Byron and Cabot were caught getting close on the kiss cam while spending time together at the Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.
“Whoa, look at these two,” the band’s lead singer, Chris Martin, said happily as the camera showed Byron holding Cabot from behind.
Once the couple noticed they were on the jumbotron, the CEO immediately ducked out of view while Cabot hid her face in apparent embarrassment.
Martin, 48, was seemingly shocked by their bizarre behavior and publicly called them out.
“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” the musician joked as the audience erupted in laughter.
After the video went viral, information about Byron and Cabot’s private lives — including their respective marriages — surfaced.
Kristin, who has been the Chief People Officer at Astronomer since November 2024, is reportedly married to Andrew Cabot, the CEO of Privateer Rum.
According to property records obtained by The Post, the Cabots are the co-owners of a $2.2 million two-story, four-bedroom New Englander-style that they purchased in February.
Meanwhile, Andy is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron and they share two children.
Once the video of her husband’s affair made headlines, Megan dropped his last name from her Facebook page and ultimately deactivated her account altogether.
Less than 24 hours after the Astronomer employees were placed on leave, the company announced that Andy had resigned.
“As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,” a rep for the tech company told Page Six on July 19.
“Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.”
Astronomer concluded, “While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not. We’re continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data & AI problems.”
