Astronomer HR exec resigns, days after kiss cam controversy with CEO Andy Byron

Washington DC [US], July 26 (ANI): Kristin Cabot, tech firm Astronomer human resource executive, has resigned from the company, days after the controversial kiss camera moment with former CEO Andy Byron.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cabot, who served as the chief people officer, is no longer associated with the data infrastructure firm and submitted her resignation after reports surfaced about her leaving.

Cabot has been a target of intense backlash on social media ever since her video with the CEO surfaced during the Coldplay concert. In the days after the incident, Byron also stepped down from his role.

Astronomer Board of Directors had initiated a formal internal review over the clip, resulting in Byron resignation earlier this month, reported Variety.

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. Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted, a part of the company statement read.

During Coldplay July 16 concert at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, a kiss camera captured a couple in an embracing state, reportedly Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot.

In a quick reaction, the two instantly tried hiding themselves to avoid being exposed, only for their activities to catch the world attention. Coldplay lead singer, Chris Martin, also took note of the moment and commented, Either theyre having an affair or theyre just very shy.

Later, Martin gave out a lighthearted warning to his fans, subtly alerting them about the cameras at concerts. Wed like to say hello to some of you in the crowd. How were gonna do that is were gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen. So please, if you havent done your makeup, do your makeup now, he said, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.

The band is yet to directly comment on the incident. (ANI)
