Kristin Cabot, the chief people officer of the New York-based tech company Astronomer, has resigned from her role after she was spotted embracing the company’s CEO at a Coldplay concert.
Astronomer confirmed her resignation on Thursday.
Andy Byron, the chief executive of Astronomer, resigned from his role last week.
Astronomer’s board of directors accepted Byron’s resignation, according to a LinkedIn post, and are searching for its next CEO.
In the now viral video, Byron was seen with Cabot on the “kiss cam” screen at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, before they both ducked out of view.
The data operations company, which was founded in 2018, acknowledged that “awareness of our company may have changed overnight,” but its mission would continue to be focused on addressing data and artificial intelligence problems.
The company on Friday said Astronomer’s co-founder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy would serve as interim CEO.
Byron’s LinkedIn account is no longer public and he was removed from the company’s leadership page following the announcement, which now lists co-founder DeJoy as CEO.
