Tech CEO Resigns Following Viral Embrace at Coldplay Concert

In a surprising turn of events, Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, has resigned following a viral video that showed him embracing a female colleague, Kristin Cabot, during a Coldplay concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The incident was captured on the venue's jumbo screen, where the pair were seen swaying to the music before quickly ducking out of sight, prompting speculation and commentary from both concert-goers and online viewers.

Astronomer released a statement confirming Byron's resignation, emphasizing their commitment to accountability and conduct standards. The board of directors is set to conduct a search for a new leader while the company's chief product officer will serve as interim CEO. Following the video's circulation, which amassed millions of views and comments – including a quip from Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin regarding the couple's behavior – the firm placed Byron on leave and launched an internal investigation into the circumstances surrounding their relationship.
