Overview

  • A kiss-cam moment at Coldplay’s July 16 concert in Boston showed CEO Andy Byron embracing HR chief Kristin Cabot, and the clip has since drawn millions of views online.
  • Neither Byron nor Cabot has issued a public statement addressing the footage, and Astronomer has not confirmed whether it will launch an internal investigation.
  • A purported apology letter circulating on social media has not been verified by any credible source or the company.
  • Byron’s wife removed his surname from her social media profiles and deactivated her account after the video went viral.
  • Observers warn the incident underscores the reputational risks companies face when private executive interactions become global scandals on social media.
