The camera-shy tech CEO caught in an ungainly embrace with an worker at a Coldplay concert was allegedly a “toxic” boss — and former employees were “laughing their ass off” on the news, a former colleague exclusively told The Post.
Andy Byron, the married CEO of Recent York-based software firm Astronomer, skyrocketed to web infamy on Thursday after he was spotted canoodling with the corporate’s chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot, on the jumbotron at Gillette Stadium.
The incident sparked chatter amongst his former colleagues – with many claiming that Byron got his rightful comeuppance, in accordance with a source who used to report on to Byron.
“The text groups and chains of former employees are like…everybody’s laughing their ass off and having fun with the hell out of what happened and him getting exposed,” the source said.
Within the workplace, Byron allegedly has a popularity as an aggressive, sales-obsessed executive who may be “toxic”, the source added.
Astronomer and Byron have yet to reply to The Post’s requests for comment on the situation.
Because the “kiss cam” panned over the gang, Byron had his arms around Cabot’s midsection and the 2 were holding hands. When the pair realized they were on camera, Cabot covered her face and turned her back, while Byron tried to duck out of view.
Here is the newest on the CEO caught cheating on a Coldplay concert jumbotron
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin initially thought he had stumbled onto a young moment in the gang, but quickly realized something was amiss.
“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” Martin said.
“Holy sh-t. I hope we didn’t do something bad,” he added, in accordance with additional footage taken right after.
Byron appears to be married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, while Cabot recently divorced her husband, Kenneth Thornby.
Cabot and Thornby filed for divorce in 2018 and the split was finalized in 2022, in accordance with Massachusetts court records. It’s unclear if she has since remarried.
Byron joined Astronomer as CEO in July 2023, in accordance with his LinkedIn page, which was taken down by Thursday afternoon. Astronomer closed a $93 million fundraising round in May with backing from Bain Capital, Salesforce and other notable firms.
The corporate said it could use the cash to “expedite research and development and to strategically expand the corporate’s international presence,” in accordance with a press release.
