An awkward “Kiss Cam” moment at a Coldplay concert has put Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot under the microscope. Byron dodged the camera while Cabot turned away, sparking rumors of a workplace affair—especially given Byron’s 2023 praise of Cabot and the fact that he’s married.
Fueling the chatter, Byron soon deleted his LinkedIn, and his wife disappeared from social media after sympathy and speculation flooded her accounts. Cabot finalized her divorce in 2022.
The viral moment also resurfaced old allegations from Byron’s past at Cybereason, where he was accused of toxic leadership—claims he previously denied.
