The Coldplay concert in Boston got more heated up when a video of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, hugging with his HR chief Kristin Cabot, went viral after they were shown on a large screen. “Oh look at these two,” Chris Martin said, unaware that they were not married to each other. The video has gone viral, with social media users speculating what happened next after married Byron and his HR seemed horrified and covered their faces when the camera was on them. “Oh what… either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy,” Chris Martin said, understanding the situation quickly.
Who is Astronomer CEO?
According to Byron’s LinkedIn profile, he has been CEO of Astronomer, a software development firm valued at more than $1.3 billion, that works on data tools, most notably Apache Airflow, since July 2023.
