Byron has resigned his job as Astronomer CEO, as his high-powered life has begun to unravel after his Coldplay ‘kiss cam’ moment with his HR chief

Pete DeJoy stepped up as interim CEO of Astronomer when Byron and Cabot, who were part of the company's leadership, were caught canoodling at a Caldplay concert last week.

C oldplay fan Grace Springer revealed she didn’t make money from the viral video she posted of married former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his alleged mistress, human respurces executive Kristin Cabot. The former co-workers made headlines in July 2025 after they were caught on a “kiss cam” at a Coldplay concert in Foxborough, MA, on July 16.
