Astronomer has taken initial action against CEO Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, employees caught at a Coldplay concert.

Astronomer has been in the news for the past few days due to the scandal surrounding its CEO Andy Byron at a Coldplay concert, where he was caught on camera hugging a woman who was not his wife and who happened to be Kristin Cabot , the company's human resources director.

This Friday, July 18, the company issued a statement regarding the scandal and assured that the first steps would be taken to ensure clarification of the embarrassing events that have gone viral on the internet.

In a statement issued Friday, the company said it is aware of the uproar caused by the images, which have been shared thousands of times on social media and in which executive Andy Byron is accused of being unfaithful.

"Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding," begins the brief text in which they announced the first measures they would take regarding the case that put their company at the center of a questionable act by thousands of people on the internet.

The statement highlights, among other things, the example that the company's leaders should set and "set the standard in conduct and responsibility." This has not been reflected in the actions of its executive.

In this regard, the company announced that the measure taken was discussed by the board of directors and that it "has initiated a formal investigation into this matter." They also assured that more details would be provided shortly.

In the same text, the company took the opportunity to deny information circulating in the media about the couple's companion in the box they were occupying that night. According to information erroneously circulated online, Astronomer's Vice President of People, Alyssa Stoddard, was the woman laughing while the incident occurred.

But the company clarified that she "was not at the event" and that the person appearing in the video was another woman who was with them and knew about their actions that night at Gillette Stadium. They also clarified that "no other employees appear in the video," which has already garnered millions of views across social media.

On the other hand, they also confirmed that Byron has not officially commented on the incident , contrary to various reports circulating about the CEO's alleged statements. "Reports to the contrary are incorrect," the statement concludes.

The woman who appears in the video alongside Andy Byron, whom the CEO tenderly embraces, is Kristin Cabot, the company's director of human resources . No specific information was provided regarding her, nor has she commented on the matter. She has held this position since November 2024 and is recognized in the world of project management.

Both Cabot and Bryon have reportedly been placed on leave from their jobs , according to US outlet Axios .
