Astronomer confirmed the resignation of former CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot due to their involvement in a scandal at a Coldplay concert. Footage of their inappropriate moment went viral, prompting widespread media attention and memes. This incident resulted in both executives departing the company. Interim CEO Pete DeJoy expressed the situation has been unusual and surreal for the team, stating that the media spotlight is unprecedented for a startup like Astronomer, which is now recognized publicly.
Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer; she has resigned," a company spokesperson told CNBC Thursday in an email.
The events of the past few days have received a level of media attention that few companies-let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world-ever encounter."
The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name."
