Overview

  • Cabot, then Astronomer’s chief people officer, was filmed in an embrace with CEO Andy Byron at Coldplay’s July 16 Boston show as Chris Martin joked about an affair.
  • Both Cabot and Byron exited Astronomer in the days after the video spread widely online and drew scrutiny of workplace conduct and power dynamics.
  • Andrew Cabot’s ex-wife, Julia, told the Daily Mail he texted that the situation was “nothing to do with me” and said the couple was separating, adding he was likely more embarrassed than upset.
  • Reports note the couple co-own a recently purchased $2.2 million home near the New Hampshire coast and highlight Andrew Cabot’s Boston Brahmin lineage and role at Privateer Rum.
