It was supposed to be a night of music and fun, but the CEO of Astronomer, Kristin Cabot, said that she has “trust from employees at all levels,” including top executives like CEOs, after being spotted cuddling with her married boss on the jumbotron during Wednesday night’s Coldplay performance.
When Cabot and Astronomer CEO Andy Byron were seen at the concert at Gillette Stadium near Boston on Wednesday night, they were in an awkward position and immediately attempted to hide their faces.
Chris Martin, the frontman of Coldplay, even paused for a second after witnessing the “kiss cam” moment and surmised that they may be “having an affair.” Since then, Cabot and her CEO boss have been in the news because of their controversy, which went viral online.
Coldplay Concert Revealed The Affair Between Andy Byron And Kristin Cabot
Frontman Chris Martin of Coldplay accidentally brought attention to an alleged pair during the show; they were later revealed to be Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot. After being captured cuddling in each other’s arms, the video shows them constantly attempting to cover their faces.
Martin was interacting with people in the audience when this occurred. He once noticed a couple in the audience, but he had no idea that this would lead to rumors about a potential cheating scandal at work.
Soon after, Megan Kerrigan, the wife of the Astronomer CEO, deleted her last name from her Facebook page, leading to rumors that a divorce was approaching.
Who Is Kristin Cabot?
According to her LinkedIn page, Kristin Cabot is the Chief People Officer (CPO) of the data software company Astronomer. According to a Mint report, she joined the company only nine months ago and has established a reputation in Silicon Valley for scaling company culture during periods of rapid growth.
Cabot, who graduated from Gettysburg College with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, has experience with Proofpoint, Neo4j, and ObserveIT.
Cabot presented herself as a “passionate people leader” with a reputation for “creating award-winning cultures from the ground up” on her LinkedIn profile. Her objective is to “build trust with employees at all levels,” she said.
Cabot and her husband, Kenneth Thornby, had just separated. According to court documents cited by the New York Post, they filed for divorce in 2018, and the separation was finalized in 2022. Thornby was forced to provide Cabot a lump sum child support payment since the ex-couple had at least one child.
Who Is Andy Byron?
On his LinkedIn profile, Byron states that he has been the CEO of Astronomer since July 2023. According to public records, Byron and his 50-year-old wife, Megan Kerrigan, live in the neighboring town of Northborough. Together, the couple has two kids.
With an overall worth of $1 billion or more, the private data infrastructure business achieved “unicorn” status in 2022, according to Newsweek. The business just moved its main office to New York City.
An Old LinkedIn Post By Kristin Cabot Becomes Viral
An old LinkedIn post by Kristin Cabot has gone viral amid the Coldplay video controversy. Cabot said, “I have been excited in my conversations with Andy Byron and the Astronomer leadership team about the opportunities that exist here,” in a post she shared months ago announcing her new position at Astronomer. Even while the statements seemed polished and professional at the time, many people thought they were too ironic to ignore after the Coldplay kiss cam incident.
