CEO SCANDAL ERUPTS! 😡 Andy Byron QUITS after the explosive Coldplay kiss cam fiasco! 😱 His 5-word statement IGNITES fury everywhere! 🔥 What did he say? 👀

The technology company Astronomer said its CEO, Andy Byron, has resigned after he was shown embracing a woman on a screen during a Coldplay concert.

Astronomer’s board of directors accepted the resignation Saturday, saying it will begin a search for a replacement. The company said Friday that it launched a formal investigation into Byron after the video of him went viral online.

“As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,” the New York company said in a statement on Saturday.

Byron was shown with his arms wrapped around a woman on a jumbo screen during a Coldplay concert on Wednesday in Foxborough, Massachusetts, according to a social media post. Some media outlets identified the woman as Astronomer human resources chief Kristin Cabot.

Byron didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment sent to Astronomer.

Astronomer, a privately held company based in New York, makes software that helps companies implement workflow management technology.

The video emerged after Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his “Jumbotron Song,” when he sings a few lines about the people the camera lands on.

For several seconds, a couple was shown cuddling and smiling, with the man’s arms wrapped around her as she leaned back into him. When they saw themselves on the big screen, her jaw dropped, her hands flew to her face and she spun away from the camera. He ducked out of the frame, as did she.

“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” Martin joked.

Kiss-cam alert

Both Byron and Cabot’s LinkedIn accounts were inactive as of Friday afternoon.

In a statement to CBS News on Friday, Astronomer said Byron was placed on leave and that Pete DeJoy, co-founder and chief product officer, is serving as interim CEO.

“The events of the past few days have received a level of media attention that few companies — let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world — ever encounter,” DeJoy said Monday in a statement posted on LinkedIn. “The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name.”

DeJoy also vowed to keep the company on course, highlighting its growth as a provider of workflow technology.

Most concert venues have signs informing the audience that they could be filmed during the event. It’s common practice especially when bands like to use performances for music videos or concert films.

The venue where the concert took place, Gillette Stadium, also has a privacy policy that states: “When you visit our location or attend or participate in an event at our location, we may capture your image, voice and/or likeness, including through the use of CCTV cameras and/or when we film or photograph you in a public location.”

The tech tycoon and his head-of-HR mistress whose affair was exposed on a “kiss camera” at a Coldplay concert both appeared to be living the American dream — complete with happy family photos and big suburban houses — before the cheating scandal torpedoed their lives, sources said Friday.

Megan Kerrigan, wife of philandering Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, 50, shared joyful family photos with him and their apparent sons on Facebook before he was exposed as two-timing with the company’s Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, 52.

Her wholesome Facebook photos showed the Byron gang grinning with arms around each other on a hike and at a graduation — before Kerrigan deleted her married name and the entire social media account Thursday.

In the hiking shots, the tight-knit family is posed in front of a creek with the married couple looking cozy and beaming, flanked by the two teenage boys.

It wasn’t immediately clear when the photos were taken or posted. But Kerrigan had used the outdoorsy image as her profile picture until her husband was caught in jumbotron footage canoodling with Cabot at the rock show outside Boston Wednesday, prompting a disastrous viral scandal for the pair.

Meanwhile, Cabot appears to be married to the CEO of a booze company, Andrew Cabot — and bought a sprawling $2.2 million abode in the seaside town of Rye, New Hampshire with him less than five months before the affair came to light, The Post has learned.

The duo paid for the two-story, four-bedroom New Englander-style house — located just minutes from the Atlantic coast — in February, property records show.

Cabot, whose maiden name is Stanek, has also shared a second home in the same town with Andrew Cabot — the chief executive of Privateer Rum, a Massachusetts-based alcohol maker — since at least 2023, according to the records.

Privateer Rum’s website lists Andrew Cabot as its CEO and COO of the company and his bio notes an “ancestor, the original Andrew Cabot (1750-1791), was a merchant, rum distiller and successful American privateer during the American Revolution.”

A photo purportedly showing the pair posing with two children has circulated on social media this week — but The Post could not confirm when or where their apparent marriage took place.

Kristin Cabot’s now-deleted LinkedIn account showed that she has served as an “advisory board member” at Privateer Rum since September 2020.

On Wednesday, Byron and Cabot scrambled to hide their faces when they were unexpectedly broadcast locked in an embrace on a “kiss cam” at the rock show at Gillette Stadium Wednesday night.

During the deer-in-headlights moment, Cabot covered her face and Byron quickly ducked out of view.

Here is the latest on the CEO caught cheating on a Coldplay concert jumbotron

“Oh, what?” lead singer Chris Martin said, clearly confused. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.

“ S–t…I hope we didn’t do something bad,” he added.

Just moments before the two-timing coworkers were ousted, they repeatedly locked lips and embraced while appearing to belt the lyrics to the band’s hit, “Yellow,” to each other, fan footage obtained by TMZ showed.

Astronomer, which specializes in AI-driven data, was also thriving in the months before the scandal struck, reportedly raising nearly $100 million from big investors and rapidly growing.

In May, the firm announced that it had “secured $93 million in Series D funding” from backers that included Bain Capital, Salesforce, Venrock and Meritech.“While this is just one step in Astronomer’s journey to build a durable, lasting software company, we’re thrilled to have one of our earliest investors, Bain, leading the round,” Byron said in a statement at the time.

On Friday, Astronomer said it has launched an investigation into the embarrassing incident, suggesting the intimate relationship was unknown to the firm’s board.

“Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,” the tech-and-data firm said in a statement.
