Astronomer’s CEO, Andy Byron, has resigned after a video emerged showing him embracing a woman on screen during a Coldplay concert. The company’s board of directors accepted his resignation and will begin searching for a replacement. Astronomer, which provides software for workflow management technology, made the announcement following a formal investigation into Byron’s actions. The incident occurred when Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his “Jumbotron Song,” revealing the couple on the screen. Byron did not comment on the incident, while his human resources chief, Kristin Cabot, appeared unresponsive in the video. Astronomer has placed Pete DeJoy as interim CEO and emphasized its commitment to its core values. The company’s investigation highlights the importance of accountability from its leaders.
